Still no Android app for Nebula?

Why can't I see this video () on Nebula now without the curiosity/nebula ad?

:)

It would've been nice if the environmental impact of the program was mentioned, considering how terrible flying is from an emissions standpoint, and how much emissions must be generated from all those near-empty flights.

This the one in like Ethiopia?

Yes, there are. Have you ever seen any of the orgy videos? They're all filmed in those buildings.

Van Quan As well as bookings via the airlines main site like booking on KoreanAir from Seoul to NYC with a layover in LAX your LAX-JFK flight would be Delta Airlines while you’re Seoul to LAX flight would be KA

"The Logistics of Airline Alliances"

They basically have ticketing agreements and since they have a partnership they can expand their destinations and you can connect l from 1 airline to the Code Share partner seemless, baggage, boarding passes etc. A good example. AA SAN-LAX when connecting you would go BA LAX-LHR. This makes the ticket price the same if you took 1 carrier. Separate tickets would be about 5x's higher. As far as $$ the airlines negotiate rates for code sharing. I used to work for the Tariff department for AA so I used to calculate some of these outrageous fares. There is a lot more that goes into it, but way over my pay grade

There are also a lot of communities in the rural U.S. that have populations less than 100. Hell, 42,000 is the size of the largest city in Wyoming, 48,000 is the size of the largest city in West Virginia, 63,000 in Wyoming, and on and on. Only six states have even a single city with over a million people in it. People really underestimate how sparsely populated the U.S. is.

@@MrPhilsterable Wyoming must of multipled

@@MrPhilsterable Exactly! Plus with cities like Phoenix and San Antonio, they're essentially giant suburbs with the ridiculous amount of spread-out land being the major contributor to their high population, not density.

@@MrPhilsterable Cheyenne has 65,000 people. Not sure where you are getting the 42,000 figure, or why Wyoming was mentioned twice.

@@jnyerere To be fair, Phoenix is actually a really highly populated city (~1.6mil), but then the surrounding suburbs take up an absolutely enormous area.

Joey Knight Well, at least those pilots are going out with a bang? Possibly, quite literally, if the plane tears it’s way out the other side of the ship.

@@Erakius323 of course i nothing but respect for them they may have enemy's but still i respect them. I feel quite bad about joking about it

Joey Knight I make awful jokes so that I can laugh at a cruel, random, insane world. What they did was beyond brave. Questionably effective on a tactical scale and pointless on a strategic scale, but very brave.

Also keep in mind wendover's implicit hatred of subsidies for rail or public transportation, but thinks this subsidized boondoggle is as natural as gravity.

Mmmmmm high speed rail that goes nowhere I wanna go..

Wendover: The US is the least dense… Me: He's obviously not talking about the collective intelligence we display when making critical decisions for our nation.

Are you stupid? He said in this video the US population density is far less than Europe or Asian countries thats why a rail system wouldnt be feasible. In California theyve already wasted billions on a train that literally connects two farm towns.

@@aespa690 No, there are also plenty of cases where we could make great use of trains, yet we either refuse to act or we find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I believe California's recent attempts at rail are examples of where we have been the cause of our own needless failure.

Is it cheaper than fueling a plane?

@@bishop51807 It can be, but that's not easy to answer because you have to factor in all the maintenance costs for the rail network. But it's almost always better for the environment...

Sadly the US's geography makes passenger rail a near impossibility.

Shigg McDigg why? It seems largely flat other than some mountains on either coast

@@rioyoung1493 Because of how vast the US is. The us government would have to buy millions of acres of real estate to lay the rails, cost of building train platforms, salary of all the people working the stations and trains, the cost of building and maintaining the rails, and train trips between the largely populated cities on both coasts would take days. Population centers in the US are largely too spread out to make widespread train travel feasible. (The exception being New England which is why it has AmTrack)

Captain Patch I think the heat will kill most non-Arizona residents

@D. Steven Ever been there in the summer? You can smell barbecue in the senior homes, even when there's no grill. Just try not to ask about what's cooking.

The last time I was in Arizona in the summer, I thought I was going to die just walking over a parking lot.

D. Steven actually you can look up cases where senior citizens died from the heat in Arizona! It really sad.

@D. Steven Southern Arizona is only comfortable from late fall to early spring. Spring transitions into summer pretty quickly and summer is hot and miserable. Northern Arizona however, is much cooler and far more tolerable in summer because of higher elevation and a different biome. Northern AZ's problem though, is that it gets snow in the winter and not everyone wants that.

Trains are only real competitors over short distances.

They should have taken all they money they used to widen the I-25 gap and put it into a train.

Why would I want to travel to Pueblo by rail? Honestly, it's nice for a few people to live in Pueblo and take the rail to work in Denver due to the cost of living in Denver being higher than Pueblo. But that's about it. Even a high speed train would turn a 2 hours trip into a 1 hour trip. That sounds nice, but then the rest of Denver public transportation is mediocre so if I was commuting from Pueblo, I'd save maybe 20 minutes a trip once you account for transfers. Seriously, that project is a waste of resources that would benefit a handful of people. It's way better to spend the tens of millions of dollars on improving Pueblo.

@@seigeengine Denver - Pueblo is only roughly 100miles, well within that range of effectiveness for rail :)

@archlinuxrussian The problem is that trains are expensive. The track alone to cover that 100 miles could cost $5-10 billion.

fug man. You are everywhere. Get a job man.

He's trying to make sure we understand the equivalent value of that program without trying to express whether that means its justified or not. "It's not that much" is not the same as "it's worth it"....

@@forgottenfamily It's a matter of principle. If we cut all the crazy programs like this one the government would save billions. If not, the programs will continue to grow and our debt will consume us all.

​@@stevencooper4422 Again, no position was made on whether it was or wasn't worth it. Whether you think it's worth it is up to you and you may vote based upon those beliefs. All that was expressed was to give a proper reference point to what the cost is actually since we actually have very limited ability to understand expenses that are orders of magnitude above numbers that we routinely deal with. However, if we want to talk about practical realities, here are some things I do ask: 1) What is the actual economic benefit of the program? While the video gives a percentage of economic growth from increased traffic, that doesn't actually translate to an actual dollar amount of economic activity. Did that economic benefit exceed the 290M? In fact, I'd actually want it to greatly exceed it - if it's a 1:1 ROI, then it's basically a direct funneling of money from Washington to that town which is not necessarily a practical policy. 2) Are there more effective ways for that 290M to be spent from an economic standpoint? 3) Are there secondary economic or cultural benefits. I posted elsewhere on here that one of the areas I'm thinking about is how primary resource gathering such as mining and farming are fairly rural oriented just by their nature. While the economic benefit of growing the town might not necessarily be there, having farming communities be connected enough to continue to sustain the farming industry may be a worthwhile investment. I'm sure if pushed, I could come up with additional questions, but the point of the questions is that there are a lot of reasons to consider this a worthwhile investment. On the other hand, it would not shock me if many of these flights are terrible investments and are far more about ensuring that communities that have no remaining economic value are propped up. I'm not convinced that a small youtube video can truly do justice to answering the questions that need to be answered for judging a program. But I do know that just looking at the price tag and saying "that's too much" without asking the question "is it worth it" is just bad government.

I mean, yes, but we all know by "what to think," he means "what opinion to have on the matter." If you consider facts as matters of opinion you probably shouldn't try having opinions about anything of consequence at any point in your life.

@Steven Cooper "We should cut this program because it costs money." That is all your comment said. Morons like you are why there's a debt problem in the first place.

I was searching for this comment.

Nah Australians are all bunched up all on the coast.

To be fair that isn’t contradictory, you can still think that these flights shouldn’t be subsidised even if it were just 1 dollar. Wendover previously has stated he supports access to transport for all, you don’t necessarily have to share _that_ view.

2019 US Federal budget is $4.4 Trillion dollars. $290 million is 0.004% of the budget. It's not that much compared to the size of the budget.

I agree with the sentiment, just thought the phrasing was funny.

Dan Scannell Well if every passenger using a subsidized plane increases local GDP by 0,12 %, and these flights allow for the upkeep of jobs in these areas, such a program can be an investment. Let’s be honest, the government earns money through taxes, if it pays 1 $ for a program knowing they’ll receive 1,01 $ back in tax revenue, it is a win-win situation for them. Plus they get to create jobs in rural areas, etc. Thus, 290 million is not much.

I agree with fetchstix™. The relative price of the subsidization doesn’t matter nearly as much as the principle. We the people shouldn’t be forced at gunpoint to pay private businesses

Wait until the airplane industry starts leaving Earth's atmosphere to make the trips shorter! ( I doubt that will happen )

And yet every year Europeans fly more and more often.

Yes, it is quite nice when a crushing world war breaks any semblance of property rights, allowing the government to build massive civic works without dealing with the headache of relocating literal tens of millions of citizens from their houses. It also helps when your entire nation is the same size as a single state of the United States.

Also, the entire European continent packs about twice the people in about 75% of the land (if we exclude the European portions of Russia from both, and Alaska from the USA).

I think he's more trying to say that it's a lot more beneficial than a lot of those other things

It puts it into context though. If this program was a complete hole of money, we'd probably all turn against it eventually. The spending is still proportional to its benefits.

He did compare it against highways which is relevant...

But what he said is the cost of building new highways which do last, so it's not a fair comparison. I believe that maintaining existing highways would cost much cheaper.

The point isn't that it being a small amount of money in context means that money should continue being spent this way. The point is that the money being spent on this program isn't worth much as a counter to idiots who are inclined to go "wow, $290M is a lot to me, therefore it's such a waste because I'm a selfish prick who has no concern for other people and can't conceive of another perspective."
