It's the foundational concept of lemmy, and the main protection against enshitification.

And then fossil fuel companies will use it as an excuse to keep fucking the planet. Changing the albedo with clouds is at best a delay of the inevitable.

But their stupidity spills over. Their covid rates effect the covid rates of surrounding areas. Their science textbook policy effects what publishers are willing to publish. Their abortion law places extra strain on surrounding states.

Their actions have consequences beyond their state borders.

But what do we see from that legacy now?

It bothers me so much. I wanted to pay for a friend's ticket to visit us. By train, it was $200, a 16hr trip, of which 2/3rds was by bus thanks to Amtrack's garbage infrastructure/system.

By plane for the same trip, it was a $180, 2hr direct flight.

It's so god damn ass backwards. Trains produce a fraction of the emissions of planes, so why are we ok with trains being uncompetitive?

They actively kill competition for a reason.

I'd rather take garbage addresses instead of the current trend of enshitification.

To be fair, there is a fun, consenting way to do so. Anon's way ain't it though.

Even that might be going a bit short. In the long run it's probably better to switch to piped, freetuhe, invidous, etc.
