This poster crosses my path from time to time and it demonstrates a number of things - that long-term planning, informed by environmental factors (in a negative way, maybe), was something the railway could envisage.
You might ask who this ad' by a state railway was aimed at?
Probably the Treasury.

Amazing. Got my first unsolicited email review of a paper from an AI company, also telling me what follow up work to do. So inexpensive to get even more insights! This is wonderful, and I am planning to budget for this in all future work, right below the priority to fund a space circus on the moon.

Our Board have a defined vision to achieve world cricketing domination by the year 2082. We will not overturn the global order in one single act, but do so incrementally. We can bide our time. Our ice melts fast, but cricketing glory can be attained patiently.

#nzpol Scientists monitoring our faultlines statistically predict that we have two separate overdue 8+MAG earthquakes. They'll hit within the next 50 yrs. Tsunamis are likely to result. Our hospitals, health sector, councils, govt, and emergency services are not ready or equipped to cope. Landlords🙄
NZ Govt biggest health cuts are from the emergency management team, going from 11 roles to just two, and from Mãori Public Health, which could drop from six staff ..to two. Another attack on Mãori
