Many people were struck by this photograph that we circulated during today's protests against the deforestation that Elon Musk's Tesla plant is inflicting outside Berlin. Some even say that it seems like a sort of metaphor.

This is a comic I first saw years ago, and it's one I think about a lot in a lot of different contexts.

Fun math for you, in case anyone ever says public transport is a waste of money:

A new line to the DC metro system costs around 25 billion dollars. Sounds like a lot of money, right? Well, consider that the metro has 136 million riders. If you do the math, that comes out to an entirely new metro expansion costing less than 200$ for every one rider. Even if you add the metro system's annual budget of 4.7 billion to the equation, it comes out to around 218$ dollars per rider of the metro system afford a whole new line and maintenance.

By contrast, the cost of fuel and car maintenance for the average American is over 5,000.
