Someone will have to tell me what Ryan Reynolds did because outside his gin thing I don't know.

And gin isn't a big deal to me. I don't get the grab.

Ryan Reynolds used to own part of mint before T-Mobile bought it.

The plan was to build up 5G coverage up to the point we could circumvent the Cable/Broadband oligopoly. Can't do that as a reseller effectively co-opting T-Mobile's network.

Also, Reynolds has "competitively priced prepaid" covered. I need to swap over to Mint, eventually. Their annual Unlimited plan beats Straight Talk's by $125-ish, I just need to figure out the number transfer.

From what I can find, the aspiration for the company wasn't political.

MY plan. For if I were stupid rich. Along with the bits about nationalized railroads and free housing.

We've tried the nationalised railways in the UK. They weren't great. Then we privatised them again. They've been terrible ever since.

[BridgeConsoleMasher]

Nationalized railways seems like a very costly endeavor for the united states considering the disparately marketable region of the northwest to the midwest.

[Frustration]

Passenger rail service simply can't compete with highways and private cars as long as we maintain the illusion those things can work. We arranged American life so that in most places it's impossible to live without a car, and then the aspects of our society incompatible with cars died away.

Well I can't speak for the USA, but arrange life makes it sound too deliberate.

[Frustration]

You don't live in the USA. Most of our communities were, intentionally and consciously, designed around cars. Europe's cities partially retain structures that developed organically - Paris is a notable counterexample, it was mostly razed to the ground and rebuilt by urban planners, but still not with modern cars in mind. There are lots of European cities that are meant for people to be able to supply their needs by walking.

In most of the US, you can't. (Not that it's not convenient - it can't be done at all.)

Yup, that's something the average European has a hard time to wrap their head around, because it's such an alien concept. Even in our worst cities, you can still find structures that allow you to get to places without a car. The average american city is literally impossible to live in without a car and not having sidewalks is just the top-most layer of a really deep ice-berg.

I highly recommend the YouTuber Alan Something on that topic, as he features a number of videos around that topic and some of the things he describes in the US, you can see develop in parallel in today's Europe, though unlike the US, going back is relatively easily possible.
