Yeah. And if it were to ever finish (it won’t) it’s going to make it even harder for those of us who live outside of LA and the Bay Area to live and work where we do now. But sure, open the door to even more commuters making three or four times what we are so rent can go even further into the stratosphere.
And let’s say that capitalism loses (it won’t) and somehow the housing crisis is averted or resolved, your cute little bullet train is going to have so many goddamn stops, it’s going to be effectively worthless.
Take that 100+ billion, dump that shit into other public transportation infrastructure, build some affordable high density housing in places where’s it’s needed and start fixing this place.
Signed: someone who actually fuckin’ lives here and doesn’t buy for a fucking second this wasn’t ever a joke.

Uh, most laptops ship with USB-C chargers now my dude.
While this slightly created a “have to switch out my chargers” problem, a lot of MFGs used different ports on nearly all their different models and most people aren’t switching out their laptops often enough for it to remotely matter.

I dunno. I search “lightning cable” and get $10 for a 3 pack of 6 foot cables.
That definitely could be a location thing. I don’t know and that shit sucks too.

I don’t know? Where do you live? Where are you buying from? What brand are you buying? What type of cable are you buying?
See: “in a lot of markets.”

While agreeing with most of your post: lightning cables haven’t cost an arm and a leg for over a decade in a lot of markets, especially so in the US.
Even Best Buys branded cables weren’t that expensive back in 09, and when Anker, Monoprice and Cable Matters (to name very few) stepped into the market around the same time, it was a boon to consumers.
