Shapiro’s constituency is the collar counties that think SEPTA is an expensive vanity project rather than an asset that reduces traffic and GHG emissions. He won’t do it unless bipartisan suburbanites in Harrisburg force him to.

Doesn’t Del. Ave even have tracks on part of it?

I guess my post was unclear, it’s not that there aren’t any corridors that would make sense, it just seems like there aren’t any elected officials advocating for SEPTA expansion (or at least not kid enough).

My impression is the since the money is already spent, at least we can be glad it was spent well.

Where would Shapiro even build? Roosevelt boulevard makes sense but is Harrisburg actually considering that? SEPTA barely gets life support funding while Hochul was out there announcing an extension today.

I only took Econ 101 but I believe that the value of an asset approaches 0 as supply approaches infinity with constant demand.

People are focused on the fact that demand for Ai slop is relatively low, but they forget that the supply of dumb bullshit is also infinite.

The Ai stuff is interesting because no one seems to be mentioning the fact that an Ai-generated “work” can’t get copyright protection. I’m theory couldn’t anyone with a sora subscription make a Tillie Norwood “movie?”

So grab em because why not? I’m literally just one neurodivergent guy working in his garage, so I’m not like, stealing data, I’m just tired of seeing expensive, useless slop and would rather see digital manufacturing produce human-made, well-designed, usable objects

So enjoy and maybe share

It seems like a bunch of people expect that consumer spending is going to be down this winter and they want to be able to take credit afterwards.
