In a tiny village in Tuscany, up in the hills near a small town called Montalcino, this memorial is on the wall of the church. 3 sets of brothers, 28 men dead, all privates bar 3 NCOs, from a village of maybe 200. And no one remembers the endless battles of the Isonzo now.

Great model for California to follow. Build economies of scale for electric trains and supporting infrastructure and watch the savings roll in.
Germany aims to reunify the procurement of PSO trains in order to make their acquisition and maintenance easier and cheaper. The model is based on that of the VDV Tram-Train consortium.
Germany's 27 states join forces to make joint train purchases
Since regionalisation, purchasing has become fragmented, losing the benefits of economies of scale.

Funding delay added *3 years* to the timeline of the SMART extension to Windsor. 3 extra years of extra driving and greenhouse gas emissions. We need to end patchwork funding and fully fund the State Rail Plan if we want a modern rail network on the timescales demanded by climate change.

"Hey fellow kids! What's a drone? Is that one of your myspace meymeys? Whats a stealth? What you mean no radar signature? Back in my day I trained for suicidal low level high speed strikes. Can't see you if you're a fast boy. I'm a fast boy. That's why my wings crank back like a Opel convertible."

This is the type of totally new service LinkUS would unlock. It benefits Stern's constituents, is located in LA county, and has nearly $1B in missing funding, yet it's been absent from LA's funding demands. The proposed cuts to regional rail funding could put it further in jeopardy.

Funding is a major, underappreciated contributor to the high construction costs and long timelines that hold back electrification. In our new policy paper, Against Patchwork Funding, we propose a smarter way to fund rail: Multi-year Investment Frameworks. 🧵 calelectricrail.org/against-patc...

Screw this. Slowly like a frog being boiled in the pot, we are edging closer and closer to the inevitable. Eventually Russia will make a move that kills someone in Poland or the Baltics. And the same who swept this under a rug will claim they didn't see it coming.

We are dangerously close to doing with this war what the Americans did with the Afghanistan war. Making it a part of the mundane background noise of every day life.

Surprisingly, the New York Post is becoming a strong voice of reason and peace through strength in the American debate on russia's war against Ukraine. Here they explicitly advocate for toughening of the American sanctions.
