real life nazi 

drunk idiot spouting right-wing bullshit on the train and all he's saying is that he has fundamentally misunderstood what taxes are for

dude if you want "your investment back from the state" go drive on a road or hang out in a public park

re: real life nazi 

@noiob or, sit on, a usually publicly funded, train,,

re: real life nazi 

@elomatreb I'm not sure what the situation actually is with DB but I doubt they don't benefit from public money

re: real life nazi 

@noiob Basically all their initial capital came directly from taxes and the Bund is their exclusive shareholder

@elomatreb I also think they get tons of public money for infrastructure that's on the verge of collapsing

re: real life nazi 

@noiob That as well, there are some constitutional concerns as well that mean that at least part of the rail network has to be directly and actually owned by the Bund

re: real life nazi 

@elomatreb I have so many problems with the German train system and the first one is that privatizing it was a horrible decision

re: real life nazi 

@noiob 100% agree

My transit dream is renationalizing all the rail companies in Europe and unifying them into a single European rail system at the EU level

re: real life nazi 

@elomatreb gosh that could be so amazing, international transit could be so much better
