You'd think some enterprising digger would step forward to try and get finances for tearing down the mountains that stand in the way of Wealth and Greatness...

UR, that would be insanely difficult to do. You'd need a massive amount of resources to even put a rail-line through. You should read about the difficulties that Canada and the USA had in crossing mountain ranges.

I get that it would demand a lot of resouces, but surely the payoff would regroup these investments within 5 years. Maybe 10, at worst. One dude in India managed to tear down a mountain in 15 years or so.

He didn't tear down a mountain, he made a short pass. Which is still quite impressive, I mean insanely so. He created a pass at the narrowest point, that is much different in scale than a whole mountain range. I don't think you understand the scale of the undertaking. Think of it this way, this one man making this 110m mountain path was a monumental undertaking, now multiple that out and factor in all of the other assorted difficulties you'd have working in the mountains of South America.

Factor in doing it with billions of dollars of modern excavation equipment instead of the physical labor of one man.

Things in the US like the Mackinac bridge were built in spite of enormous financial, logistical, and technical hurdles. The Channel Tunnel was built to connect the UK and France.

Brazil has mighty hurdles between it and better transportation infrastructure, but they aren't insurmountable ones.

I was factoring it in. I was just saying that it isn't so simple as he assumed. I was already in agreement with your point more or less, he was just being too optimistic. Both of our countries created routes through the Rockies, so Brazil should be able to do it too.

We almost, almost had the industry. There was a guy called Jose Felix Uriburu, he was the radical centrist meme personified and he basically tried to institute a national draft to force people to go to technical schools and pick up a trade.

That actually sounds kind of like a good idea. I'm actually mulling the idea of suggesting we start a new version of the CCC that actually trains people to do the infrastructure work that really needs to be done in this country as an alternative to just printing money and giving it to the unemployed.

I'm a huge proponent of trade schools and vocational Ed. Uriburu's problem was that he killed you and your entire family if you didn't go when your number came up.

Argentine dictators were famous for having great ideas that were ruined by excessive batfuck lunacy.

Another batch of them also liquidated all major global bank branches in Argentina and set up credit Unions that couldn't grow beyond a certain size so that every citizen had a stake in the banking world.

His successors cocked that up by responding to leftist bank execs with public burnings and nationalizing the banks in the name of fighting communism!

So yeah you're not wrong, it was a good idea just executed by lunatics.

Whoops, I didn't notice that there was no preview of the news article when I posted it.

As world leaders descend on Cornwall for the first in-person G7 summit in almost two years, the Carbis Bay Hotel hosting the talks is facing criticism over its decision to cut down trees in order to build new meeting rooms in which the planet’s environmental future will be under discussion.

With events set to get underway on Friday, UK prime minister Boris Johnson is also already attracting negative headlines after making his journey to Newquay by plane.

“I’ve arrived in Cornwall for this year’s G7 where I’ll be asking my fellow leaders to rise to the challenge of beating the pandemic and building back better, fairer and greener,” Mr Johnson tweeted after jetting in from Stansted, including a photograph of himself giving a thumbs-up as he descended the steps from the cabin.

By his government’s own admission, flying creates almost five times more greenhouse gas emissions than the equivalent train journey.

But Mr Johnson was apparently ready for the criticism - which his Labour counterpart Sir Keir Starmer also attracted after flying to Edinburgh to promote his party’s green agenda during campaigning for last month’s local elections - telling a member of the press: “If you attack my arrival by plane, I respectfully point out that the UK is actually in the lead in developing sustainable aviation fuel.”

That's why schools are so fond of zero-tolerance policies, it lets them ignore sanity in favor of lawful-stupid "No tolerance, violence is violence.

The way I see it, zero-tolerance policies are the result of the general public demanding that someone do something, in the sense of being very angry about it yet not actually caring about the nuts and bolts because that's someone else's responsibility anyway. Followed by school administrators setting policy purely on the basis of, "I do not want to make any judgement calls for which I could be held liable, nor do I want to allow anyone below me to make judgement calls which could cause liability for my office."

So another suspicious death involving the Clintons. At this point you'd be a conspiracy theorist not to suspect something is up.

Link? I'd like to see the whole conversation.

And I don't know if I should be more angry about them wanting to treat white people as second class citizens or what they are assuming about black people...
