Mentions skidding on ice in first paragraph. No amount of training can reverse the laws of friction.

Thing is, I agree and think normal consumer passenger cars are getting far too heavy. Like people.

It would have just been squandered elsewhere.

As someone who until reading this was almost totally ignorant about the status quo in Mexico City (other than secondary school lessons in 90s on the 1985 earth quake) I am aghast at their situation. Those poor people.

But can they actually?

Part of me wants to despair at this. I feel like our government is just totally inept and everything is just bad news. There was even a report in the Times this week that Russian hakers are going to take the NHS down - and given the Horizon scandal where its proven we've repeatedly gone with the lowest bidder, it wouldn't surprise me.

However, I like to think there is someone in charge of all this who properly has their shit together and is smirking at this thinking 'come and have a go if you think your hard enough'

I once did some training at a highly sensitive UK site (mandatory for the clearance I needed) and during the course we were told in no uncertain terms China was relentless in their spying and attack attempts. This was around 15 years ago.

Agreed. I don't want lemmy to turn into reddit, but we could do with more users for sure. I am guilty of not posting / commenting much.
