Will Technocapital Outlive Our Civilization?
@SamoBurja and @wolftivy discuss the forces raising our civilization vs the forces pulling it down. Is techno-industrial progress made of social and intellectual components which take it down when they go, or can it weather decay?
Omg. In FY'24, BART's average cost per trip was $48.76
Fares cost $5.18, so that means each trip had a $43.58 subsidy 😅
I'm extremely pro-transit, but that is a shocking number!
