Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."

What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,
'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'
German trains still don't run on time. Can't blame that one on the Nazis, that's just a German thing.
Still better than Canadian rail. That shit is regularly late. Significantly late.
German told me
In Canada, we have Via rail. They line you up like you're at an airport and check your ticket before you board the train, and also check your ticket once you're on the train. They also have enforced weight restrictions on baggage. The trains share tracks with freight, meaning that the train has to stop every once in a while to let a freight train pass. All this to take longer than driving and cost alot as well.
