And it is branded TikTok even though you saw it posted on PatNet. I downloaded it from X, from a post someone else posted that TikTok video to before.

Also, the pic is misleading. The Ohio railroad pictured isn't a Class A railway. Comments by railnerds explain the details.
The US has vastly superior freight lines than Europe. Europe moves by truck because their freight lines are inadequate compared to the USA.
You don't see 200 car freight trains in Europe, the infrastructure and right of way for it does not exist and to make it so would be unbelievably difficult.
In passenger traffic, it's the opposite.

Our freight lines are great, highly efficient, and make a profit. It's the passenger ones that aren't.
Europe is the reverse. What makes Europe passenger train friendly also makes them freight hostile (the older cities with no place to disgorge, too close together for massive freight trains)

That's by design and in the law. Freight lines hold all the rail use cards. Passenger trains have to appeal to the DoJ to get any relief (not the DoT as many would think). Not through court, either. DoJ administrators.
This is why AMTRAK.train schedules are often fucked up, not just their incompetence.
So unless the passenger train owns/has access to dedicated track, they are fucked.
And that is how the birth of the mile long freight train REALLY came about.

One wonders how Trump was able to get such cooperation. Maybe he whispered in her ear that he has the Epstein videos of many of her pals.

Nope, with all the taxes, fees and super over regulation on the part of the EU, she decided that a 15% tariff was far reasonable. The other details...well we will have to see if/when they come about.

Program manager for a nonprofit sounds like a totally useless job where even 40K is too much.

In many countries they tax the shit out of their payrolls. So why earn more?
Just their social insurance payroll tax per paycheck - our equivalent to FICA - can be like 25% - 39% (Belgium). Usually half of that or more is paid by the employer, too.
Lol, yes, European salaries are generally lower than US salaries.

Only a !MONARCHY! can save America with it's emphasis on pure, winning BLOODLINES of excellent genetic heritage!
!MONARCHY! will always have excellent advisors, rather than mere Politicians! And be more Spiritually based!

If you are European and still haven’t grasped that the EU - both as a collective actor and through its individual members - has no real weight as a geopolitical actor on the global stage, then now is the moment to face this brutal truth. The EU has been completely sidelined in the negotiations over Ukraine’s future - and, by extension, the future of the entire European security order.
In the emerging triumvirate of great powers in this Cold War 2.0 between the United States and the DragonBear axis, Europe has been reduced to the backyard of global affairs and the main stage for the first proxy war between Washington and Beijing. Make no mistake: Russia would never have launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine - aiming to fully erase its statehood - without the long-term strategic backing of China.
Europe not only failed to prevent this war; it would have been incapable of sustaining Ukraine without the immediate and comprehensive support of the United States. Without Washington’s decisive intervention in 2022, Ukraine would likely have collapsed in the first phase of the war.
More than three years of complacency, inadequate measures, and a chronic lack of political will and courage in Europe have brought about the continent’s gravest war and destruction since 1945. This is Europe’s make-or-break moment. The fate of Ukraine - and the fate of Europe itself - is now being decided elsewhere, by the three great powers.
Welcome to the new world order. As a European, you can continue living within the carefully curated illusions of a politically incapacitated leadership - or you can confront reality. The reality is harsh, but facing it means you have not yet surrendered your future.

The euro being less likely than even BRICS imaginary money to challenge the dollar has got to be humiliating.
They think it's bad now. Just wait until US stable coins are used to buy oil internationally.

Great Thread about the European Primitive Superstitions about Air Conditioning
Even window or portable ones used just for a few days.
"Every French person has the same story of how they got deathly ill from Air Conditioning in the USA"
"They believe that a few days of Air Conditioning is especially damaging for Global Warming, while using Electric or Gas Heat 6 months of the year"
"Air Conditioning changes your body's polarity"

One thing I noticed from European A/C Fear stories, from Older 55+ Europeans, is they seem to have confused Legionaire's Disease with Air Conditioning in General.
Another big one is connecting Air Conditioning to "Liver Disease" (?!?!?!)
