perhaps you missed the very next paragraph where i said “let’s just ban flights on the same continent”. i know it’s fun to argue against a strawman and say i’m “losing it” because i made a very normal observation, but i’d appreciate it if you didn’t, thanks
I was responding to this:
Oh wait. Maybe I interpreted you wrong?
I thought you were saying that “rapid intercontinental” travel should not be a thing and that therefore we should only have “slow intercontinental”.
I basically don’t think that slow intercontinental is viable for humans who are just trying to get from Point A to Point B. No market force can make someone choose a week instead of 10 hours.
So you have to make intercontinental flight this heavily regulated thing. And I think that’s the last thing I’d do out of everything discussed in the thread, simply because it’s a massive disruption to so many things–the repercussions are completely unpredictable.
Intercontinental travel is one thing that I think planes definitely should be used for.
Are we agreeing or disagreeing?
We are agreeing. Planes should only be used for rapid intercontinental flight.

with the possible exception of webfora which must be forbidden to stinky noobs forever i don’t think this is really doable/sustainable without lots of new people coming on over to join in
i must always think of japan’s cat island, which is basically done once the olds there perish where its best bet for persistence is probably its global social media profile and its ability to beguile sentimental weirdos

what helps me imagine the idea of improving or increasing ease of travel within a municipality (and what I definitely just straight up forgot to mention in the post) is that bringing a bunch of people in is or should be a natural side effect of doing so
and it’s not like, super big hipster shopping complexes that will do it it’s just like getting a bus that goes to a part of the city it didn’t previously go through or w/e
ease of travel and consistency of service within a municipality is basically the “improvement” i’m talking about, compared to the big mondo vacation thing that’s the main image that pops into people’s heads when we talk about recreational travel
and like, when you make it easy to get around within your town you end up justifying those big projects that connect towns together so it kind of naturally happens

Do y’all think it’s too late to scrub “healthcare” from the language? It’s an awful American modernist replacement for “medicine.”
My medicine costs a cool $4,000 a dose (accounted for primarily in IP rights) and gets shipped overnight with a dozen ice packs in a styrofoam box in a cardboard box.
Don’t tell the plastic straw folks

i would tend to agree; i often use medicine in place of healthcare when i try to radicalize people on this issue. but its america, “medicine” would probably be interpreted strictly to be exclusionary, boomer politicians would say “medicine is not a human right” instead without flinching and we’d be in the same shit we are now just different words for it
