Rather bad premise in the article. 1.) Germany, Italy and Eastern Europe are very industrial regions. The author forgets defence is not only the industry. 2.) The author doesn't show any source that Chinese developers don't use AI

How is inside training outside of US s thing? Please give dpurces

Well this is very western Europe perspective given Spain's threat perception of Putin.

Yes, Polish or Finnish people are probably more on edge towards the east, but it should still be a wakeup call that 8 out of 10 people see the US as the entity they're most terrified of, above any dictator.

Any sources?

Why?

This German supermarket system has strong compettion , low margins but it is cheap and reliably good quality what most German wish.

So I disagree.

Just for the information Switzerland neither does ;)

CA’s high speed rail isn’t high speed by European standards and it looks on the way to cancelation or significant curtailment. We can’t even manage what y’all would consider slow rail.

I don't know but Swiss isn't the only train system that works but also Spain, Italy, France. Poland has a growing better train system . The swiss system has it's advantages but it is also very expensive.

It might also worth it to check them out

The advantage of swiss system is fast transfers. Hsr would likely break this system (no point in arriving faster if your connection gets longer by 10-15min

I'm Swiss and I disagree, and so do many experts. First of all, arriving earlier is always good, because many people who get off on that stop still arrive earlier. Also, people who connect to a different mode of transit, such as Trams or S-Bahns very likely can catch an earlier connection.

In addition, if we built proper high speed lines, would could increase the frequency so much that it doesn't actually matter anymore.

So it doesn't actually break the system, it improves it.

That's a very National focussed perspective and thus definitely a disadvantage of the Swiss train system ;)

I’ve ridden on several.

“Others do it even better and cheaper” makes the US failure to build and maintain infrastructure like this even sadder.

Switzerland has a few sections of barely-high-speed rail such as the Lötschberg Base Tunnel.

While on surface scratch level this might be a good entry analysis it lacks deeper comparisons to other great networks nations Like Romania or South Korea. Is it cheaper there? What about coverage? Uptimes? Why is the service "better"? Why is it by the way a free market "lie"? ( For me a lie means a wrong information by purpose)

Ehm,

Do you seriously think 70 years ago Swiss had no telephon net so they create a new one?

Or is this argument that US is just too special to change?

It was 78 Million

Huh, not sure where I got the 86 number from, because I did check a primary source. Probably a mixup with a later number that included annexed territory.
