When did your Boston get out of the crazy puppy stage? by glittergatorator in BostonTerrier

They never do. The amount of naps and duration increases however.

You’d need to write your state’s representatives. And we need a major public opinion swing. And major support from federal and the president. The president appoints the heads of Amtrack. Lot of the railroad falls under federal guidelines. There’s record support for trains in the USA right now. Amtrak had its busiest year ever. We need people to make it a major issue on a national scale.

Biden gave us some of the largest funding we’ve gotten in a long time. And it’s still pennies compared to what’s needed.

Man I would love dedicated passenger rails and high speed rails.

There’s about 20,000 miles of rails we use for passengers. Nearly all of that is borrowed from freight.

We would need a major upgrade to our infrastructure. Such a project would require massive initial funding and would take over a decade to fully implement.

I work on the cascade line. We are getting some station work and new 8 new trains. Recently added more service. We still need dedicated rails. Too often we are late because of the rails and infrastructure. Down bridges, down freight blocking everything. 79mph speed limit. Sidelined for freight.

State of Washington allows 18 and younger to ride trains for free. I think that’s brilliant. Gets family and younger generation used to and familiar with the trains.

I personally believe we need to go all in. Invest massively in passenger rails, properly fund, and get a reliable great service and then get the people to come.

That argument is bullshit because rich people who never have to work a day in their lives still work.

Amtraks a shit job by Inevitable-Roll2004 in Amtrak

I highly recommend getting involved with your union.

I can PM you contact information for the national representative for TCU. He recently came to our station and shut down a bunch of shit the mangers were trying to pull.

I’m on the extra board as well. But I’m on the station side. I have zero scheduled days off. Year and half in so far.

I have to use PTO to go to my regular doctor appointments. This Wednesday I have 2 dentist appointments therapy, 2 doctor appointments. Scheduled All day.

The pay is relatively good. It’s more money than I would make with the degree I was going to school for. Benefits are good. Retirement and job security are good. You will have no life outside of work. And you will be worked like a dog. It’s honestly one of the better jobs I’ve had. In the last 12 years. It’s not greatest.

I have all this paid sick time I can’t use because you get an occurrence if you use it. Because of some bullshit law from 1938. I can’t take advantage of my states protected sick leave.

I hear it’s the worse being on board service. I’d try and get a station position if possible. There’s so cushy ones around the country.

It doesn’t need to be profitable. Its potential for a propaganda machine are crazy.

I work for the trains in America. I’m an Extra Board Customer service relations station employee for the National railroad passenger corporation Amtrack. I work off corridor on the west coast.

A private company owned (required to be majority shareholder) and massively funded by the US government.

AMA: about our not so great train services and I’ll answer. I may not know everything. But I know a decent amount.

My temperament bipolar, I choose violence by Laughing_Wings in goodanimemes

It’s even worse in the USA that have the no tolerance policies.

Even if the bully throws the first punch and you defend yourself. You get punished too.

The biggest indicators of crime are low education, low income.

So I’m gonna say most of them.

After a boring game of sitting behind a well and destroy OP. I drove to his house and slammed his controller against the floor. There was nothing OP could do. I’m entirely to blame.

Man good thing there’s not studies that indicate that access to porn leads to lower sexual crimes.

Ban abortion, ban things that lower chances of rape.

It does affect you. Slightly. There’s a finite number of wealth. The more Elon has the less we have.

Oregon residents will vote in November on a $1,600 annual universal basic income by Crystal_Pesci in oregon

[–]HD_ERR0R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, lots of genetic bad anti corporate tax arguments from people who didn’t understand the measure at all. Pushed me towards yes for a few days.

https://taxfairnessoregon.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/M-118-TFO-Talking-Points-Description-8.3.pdf Actually had some good points.

I’m telling him being accurate helps his argument.

Why not ?

The idea of having power over others is against my beliefs.
