Which is doubly true here, where tap water remains unfucked
Tap is usual ok to drink in the US
But then we get places like Flint
They sell bottle water at crazy margins I'm sure.
It absolutely is a luxury good. You can just bring water from home for cheap
^
Even unfilted, you can by a filter pitcher at the store and still use tap
Yea the issue with tap being safe comes down to infrastructure
Yea that’s one of the ways around the issues
It’s also a preference thing
That is one thing the guy points out, that us infrastructure is old where as it's much newer in India
Idk if that means it's just new to India or the us just sucks at infrastructure
Our infrastructure is shiiiiiiiit
"our infrastructure is much newer"
"Yeah, you just built it last week. You didn't have any before"
Most of the infrastructure from the I think 60s onward is cheap and doesn’t last
Canada and the US both have infrastructural problems but it doesn't help that they're fuckoff huge
We got stuff built before then that is still going strong
Yea size doesn’t make it easy
It's probably easier to convince everyone to build a subway system when they don't have one than it is to shut down the current one, rip it all out, and add a new one.
Not that it isn't a serious problem that we're heading towards.
Like it's really hard to maintain infrastructure in some former mining town past a mountain range and wedged down into a valley halfway across the state/province
BC only now is seeing pop explosions in the interior
A.K.A our surprise summer bonfire
I live in an area with only 3 roadways north and only one is an actual interstate highway
We are currently expanding that interstate
Adding lanes
It’s highly inconvenient for drivers and has led to an increase of accidents
We have a train system but it’s not that convenient
We used to have trollies way back but not anymore
At least in the cities
Our public transit system hired Morgan Freeman and Seth Rogan to do voiced promos despite going bankrupt and then building an expensive and kinda worthless pass card system
While I think adding a tram system in my area would be a waste of tax dollars I appreciate that they are at least starting to expand the roads in some areas
We need to do more imo
This evening is Sweden:
Swedish "youth" react againt the police making some arrests by lighting 10-15 cars on fire in one part of Gothenburg Sweden
https://twitter.com/zagroshama/status/1029082019211309057
In another part och Gothenburg Hjällbo 10-12 cars was torched
and in a city called Trollhättan and it's segregated area Kronogården car tires and debris was torched.
Any suspects?
idk..I just think it's a national sport at this point and in no way related to anything else
T-they realize they pay for those right...
I guess you're right. Theres no specific demographic in Sweden that I have heard of that's been known to set fire to cars. Nope none at all
The suspects in the first case is "youth" dressed in all black and in hoodies.
And caught on video running away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WiLf6DF4tA
