It'd be hard to quantify, but I'm sure some statistics person could compare transportation methods, that includes speed, distance, energy usage, population, capacity, and probably a few more, per capita.
You could isolate it to a country's top X biggest cities, and how traveling between them compares in all those metrics.
Organizing tasks in pomodoros (which is really close to your method), is a great way to do things.
Change the full-rescan interval to monthly, or yearly even, problem solved.
You can set it to do full scans however often you like, even monthly.
Spain and France especially seem to be doing a good job building high speed rail:
Actually planning for the future if something the US can't even fathom doing. Remember this fearmongering article from the daily mail about a "ghost" subway station in Chongqing?
Here it is now:
Western countries look at China building a city where no people are, and project waste, when in reality its just the PRC properly planning and building cities, anticipating housing and infrastructure, before they need them.
Meanwhile the US doesn't do anything beforehand and cities become a sprawling suburb, car-centered wasteland. They let private capital seeking short-term profits build their cities, and turn the country into a wal-mart parking lot.
You should let them know, they might need your expertise.
Yes, this is a map of what was completed in 2018. China isn't the US, they don't give billions of dollars of public funds to grifters like Elon Musk, they actually build things.
As an example, China used more concrete for building projects from the years 2011-2013, than the US used in the entire 20th century.
This is completely false. If you're uninsured, a visit is less than ~5 USD per doctors visit, and about ~20 USD for a specialist visit.. If you're insured, as 95% of the population in China is, then visits are free. It also has a very low cost per capita, since public health is socialized, not privatized.
Primary school is completely free, and college has tuition fees just like any other country.
Got any more of "I heard it from a friend?", that people can upvote to affirm their racist biases?
Wrong, and it's clear you read none of the links above. Especially this one: https://archive.ph/DwD1n
Okay so basic western supremacy, gotcha.
Redditors going from zero to rudyard kipling in 5 seconds.
It's funny when the western supremacists themselves try to claim that supporting communist countries is a uniquely western phenomenon, when its the opposite, it's the US and its vassals demonizing Cuba, China, and the USSR.
The CPC has over 90 million members, every socialist country like Cuba and nearly every communist party on the planet supports and looks up to the CPC as a model for the 21st century. Even most non-communist global south countries look up to it.
