This. Is. Pitiful.

But do you know what’s worse?

The fact that Republicans and Congress are allowing all of it. They have brought us to this place and time with their silence and surrender.

Here's the European perspective. The nation we see as "decaying" is America and it's decaying faster and more plainly than anything we've seen before in our lives. The world's weakest leaders we see are Trump and his fascistic cronies who mistake cruelty, ignorance and self-enrichment for strength.

I just realised why the new livery is so messy, the inner carriages have the same design as the ends, that makes them "directional" and lumpy. It's a bad design mistake that needs to be fixed. (will look lousy on sets with odd numbers of carriages).

That example livery is a mess. Looks like a politician demanded something patriotic rather than a livery (or set of liveries) that look good on a train. Poor effort.

I was listening to a story on MS NOW yesterday from an author who wrote a book on the dangers of AI and the speed with which adoption is occurring. He provided examples where an AI attempted to escape it’s current environment, and others where it tried to blackmail the user. It is not ready yet!

Interesting that you are not taking into account the higher price you pay for the rest of the time from 05.30 to 23.30 every day (about 10%). That is a cost you bear too, so 7p while technically correct is misleading. You still save loads charging at home, but it is not as much as you think.

Its his money don't you know. No one has the right to take his money, its his and no one else's. I bet he is livid about this.
Some people will expect him to pay tax soon - it is just so unfair.

Relying on US equipment or support is a very dangerous choice.

The US arms industry will suffer significant losses as allies no longer trust US leadership.
Putin has a noose around Trump's neck that he is using.
