The railroad sucks because its an old outdated businessmodel when it comes to personal transport.
Only railroadbusiness that make sense is Heave industries and inner city subways. Everything else ist just romantazied waste full bs. So of course these kind if business can only be sustained by wasteful public spending.

Like I said its hidden.
E.g. my employe pays around 90k for me of which I only see 78k then they apply Tax, pension, healthcare, mandatory unemployment insurance etc, Im left with around 40k. Then i go and spend it and it again gets taxed with 19%. Many products have beeryax, coffetax etc. higest is petrol tax which is 70%. So If i spend 200€ on petrol an month, 70% is tax. I could go on and on. like I said those tax are hidden.

Example please?
By that line of thinking the Soviet Union must have had the best and cheapest service and products.
Also Venezuela should be a total Dream right now without empty stores, starving children, no murder rampage.

Tax burden in Germany for middleclass is at around 70%.
Beeing a software engineer in germany means that you code 8months for the government and 4months for yourself.
The western governments introduced more and more “hidden” taxes. So just looking at income tax is not fair.
Just because he advocates for lower taxes doesn’t mean he want anarchy.

Thats like WarnerBrothers saying in 1995 That movie streaming will never be a thing because its ridiculous to stream with a 56k Modem.
Now we have Netflix and Youtube etc.
I could go on and on, but the kneejerk resistance is extremely polarised and I feel like preaching the Internet in 1995 to some 65year old Executives at a newspaper.
Watch this to remind yourself that the internet was not always around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L3Y2_YiT-A
There was some other interview where Marc Andressen holds a presentation of the Netscape browser and is asked by a reporter what cool websites he can show or think of. He didn't have a good answer and for sure were not able to predict products like Facebook.
Watch this if you want to here some good arguments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SYVX2wcMVM

Daily trading of bitcoin is 5b$
Thats just one single exhange fuer one single fiat currency pair
Guess what there is Euros, KRW, Jen, Rimimbi.
Insane to see how buthurt HN is ober missing out on one of the best tech opportunities in the last decade.
Many here will probably hate the big family Christmas gathering because every relative assumes that the geeky guy surly must have bought some bitcoins.
But HN is no better then IBM or Dell. Its always easy to bash IBM and the way they went under, but beeing mid 30s and dismissing Cryptocurrency as fad of some kid traders is just the same.
Having said that, does anyone have an inspirational name for my Yacht? Satoshicruise?
