Dev on Nostr: I read Microsoft’s self-congratulating post about the public-private partnership ...

I read Microsoft’s self-congratulating post about the public-private partnership that connected Seattle and the east by rail, and it is hilarious. I thought by public-private partnership they meant they funded this expansion.

But no, they funded *campaigns* for *ballot measures* to spend public funds on it. lol. And they donated land to build a station for themselves. It is not nothing but it is quite funny.
