Your cause/effect doesn't have all that much truth to it with regards to rail. German rail has been an under-invested in mess since reunification, it's a long slide not a recent on…

We tried "preventing forest fires" for about a century, and it's a large part of why they're burning so intensely and destructively now. Forest fires are a natural part of the life…
