  • Regulators have been relying on a punitive approach to stem the tide […] The National Post quoted sources saying the rate of in-flight nastiness is roughly double what it was in 2019 and […] seems to be increasing […]. Transport Canada […] is considering adding a fine structure for passengers who abuse security agents.

    “Our punitive approach isn’t working, so we’ll add another punitive measure,” says regulating agency failing to regulate market to lesser consumer exploitation.



  • I endeavor to say that kuche and cake aren’t directly equivalent, despite what the translation dictionaries might say.

    Most of traditional leavened kuchen won’t be called cakes in Brazil and I suspect they won’t be called cakes in the U.S. either.

    Now, given their nature, many states with strong German influence in Brazil won’t call them bread either, instead using the words cuca or cuque (which is really just a Portuguese friendly way of saying kuche). But most of Brazil just groups them together with other recipes of sweet bread.

    Simply put, in English they are bread. If you got issues with that, strap your pitchforks to a few V-2s and have at it.












  • Mass Transit and walkable cities are a lot of things and has a lot of benefits that makes it worth expanding, but they are not an full climate solution or anything like a replacement for electric cars.

    Nobody is advocating that. There is strong advocacy for electric cars instead of mass transit, fueled by the automaker industry. You can see influences of it even in this very article.

    If we’re talking about the biggest impact to climate change, that is definitely industry activity, followed by cattle farming and only then transportation, of which daily commuting is a fraction. All the press seems to do is talk about “responsible consumption”, which is corporate speak for “don’t regulate us”.
