We just lack the leadership needed to implement massive programs like high speed interstate rail.

In fairness the Interstate system was more about air defense than transit.

Public transit needs to do what it says on the tin. People won't choose public transit if it's the choice between an hour commute each way and a 3 hour each way bus ride.

A car is too big of an investment to fail to take you from point A to B 1 in every 20 trips.

I did not want to take further actions in that thread in general (for archival purposes), but I did take one action, which in retrospect was a mistake: I removed a comment which contained the hammer and sickle symbol. I ignorantly associated this symbolism with Kremlin propaganda, and the atrocities my own people suffered at the hands of the soviet union during the previous century.

Please never apologize for this. The Soviets were some fucked up people who did fucked up things to tens of millions of people. Nobody should be eyeing their symbology favourably.

I've never actually used unraid.

Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience.

They want slaves.

You want raid plus a filesystem that can detect and correct for bitrot like xfs, btrfs or zfs. If you're looking to get started try getting a used PC off eBay and try using TrueNAS or something similar to mirror your data too.

That's not a changing argument. The 1st Amendment didn't outlaw religion in state government. It's goal was to prevent a Federal government from being able to impose a religious mandate upon a state that didn't want it.

The founding fathers had a significantly more progressive, more secular view of what the American society and government could and should be than the general population or even the general upper class.

Additionally I believe Madison ended up using a Virginia state religious freedom law to oppose religious school in the state.

While the language of the first Amendment should have banned state religion based solely on it's text. It didn't based on it's interpretation.

All of them kept them. For example Mass had a state religion until 1833. Most kept them until the mid to late 1800s when the amount of Irish Catholic and German/Lutheran immigrants made it clear that if they kept a state religion that it wasn't going to remain theirs.

Look at me, the naive optimist again.
