Unrecoverable losses obviously. No possible way to change anything ever. We should continue to breath brakepads.

Imagine if they had built the subway before the BQE. It's a real shame that the entire subway was built only in 1976. What could have been....

Ah yes. New York was truly a city of poverty, meagerness and poor economic activity back before 1950. So starved for economic output because it didn't have low density roads running through the middle of it. All of new York was built after 1950 highways.

The stock exchange? Yep highways did that. Broadway Musicals? You guessed it: directly caused by the BQE.

The benighted city was lost and adrift. Nobody could live here, nobody could visit. No business was ever done in New York before semi trucks!!

I'm not saying he's guaranteed to be the next Hitler, I'm just saying that being a buffoon does not make someone harmless. Psychopaths are dangerous. Psychopaths in power doubly so.

Remember that being comically absurd doesn't mean harmless.

Trump, despite being a walking TV Tropes page, was taken very seriously by his fans.

Yeah we got 4 Seasons Total Landscaping but we also had a legitimate coup attempt where they tried to assassinate the vice president to prevent an election being certified.

So like, yeah he's an absolutely absurd train wreck of a human being but he also walks the halls of power and lends his weight to fascists like Gaetz.

Just like each of yours

Conrail but make it permanent instead of selling it as soon as it turned a profit.

Because seriously why the fuck would you sell it off as soon as it started to stand on its own.

Gotta be sure to protect it from the same antagonism the post office experiences though.
