This week, I spent 3.5 hours traveling 35 km. It was round trip, because the trains stopped traveling in my original direction and I had to go home. Three weeks ago, I spent six hours traveling less than 80 km.
I could literally bicycle faster. I’d be okay with a hole in the floor as long as they mounted a seat on it for handicapped riders.












That’s how rich countries oppress poor countries though. No better offer existing doesn’t make this a good offer, it just shows that people are still as tribalist as ever. Australia absolutely contributes to Tuvalu’s climate crisis, and gives them an extortionate deal because nobody else will do better, not because it’s fair or close to it.
Defending that just seems like saying that might makes right.
