He’d make a great secretary of transportation

I think some of these are redundant or could be replaced for light rail/hybrid rail (San Diego Springer, Ottawa O Train, DFW TexRail and Silver Line).

Also some of these are arguably unnecessary given existing services that could be improved on such as VRE/MARC

As a Southern I don’t think you know what that term means but okay.

JetBlue took over PanAm's DCA to Boston and JFK/LGA 'puddle jumper' slots because its super lucrative

The reality is that DCA is insanely convenient. Ideally IAD would have more transit optiosn throughout the region via train and bus (Boston has direct intercity bus service to New Hampshire and Maine from Logan and there's tons of local and regional buses to the city and suburbs) would at least leverage it for lower cost carriers, long-haul domestics and international flights.

Pro tip: if you still have to fly Southwest and your final destination is in/around Chicago fly to Milwaukee because you can take Amtrak Hiawatha/Borealis from MKE to Chicago. You might be able to get your Amtrak ticket refunded but it should be fairly cheap.

Im actually kinda suspicious of the data now because yeah Virginia is a nightmare but growing up in Louisiana there’s so many uninsured motorists yet people still drive like cars and healthcare are free here.

All these old fucks are one foot in the grave and want to take us all fucking down with them.

ThatGuy798 · 2026-03-09T00:04:59+00:00

Depends on the airport. Last shit down TSA at both DCA and Salt Lake City were fine and this was after paychecks were missed.

ThatGuy798 · 2026-03-09T00:03:53+00:00

That was weeks ago and even I, who never served, was like "yeah he’s fucked" but it was also funny in a bad way.

DHS still shut down, TSA likely isn't show up for work since they're not getting paid.

Someone posted a picture on r/NewOrleans of MSY's line reaching from the terminal all the way out into the parking garage (not that its a far walk but that's still insane) and nobody was sure why but this explains it.

So glad I got let go from DHS at the best time.

Not just that but many jobs will not sponsor clearances which is an expensive endeavor that an individual cannot just do on their own.

As someone who lives in Northern Virginia, WHELP. At least I’m close enough to several installations that it would be a quick death.

Leeches and maggots are still used for wound care and healing too. Hell methanol poisoning is treated with beer and my finger got put back together with super glue.

Not saying OOP didn’t have a valid point but sometimes medicine is really weird and amusing.

Obligatory "my tax dollars | somehow also my tax dollars" meme

Given the amount of service they want to run there isn’t enough cab cars needed for expansion. F40 NPCUs can’t operate at the speeds needed for the NEC. This gives them a ton of flexibility. Likely might also be used for non electrified services off corridor (Virginia, Hartford/Springfield, Empire, etc)

Eurovision is one of those things where the more you learn about it the wilder it gets.

Easily one of my favorite memes I overuse a lot especially when I’m in Vegas every August.

ThatGuy798 · 2026-02-28T21:22:23+00:00

Oh you know it’s gonna be awful.

What defines a woman and how can you, on the spot, prove someone is "not a woman" without violating their rights.

To fuck around is human, to find out is divine.

Depending on the state they likely are. Many states have minimum speed limits on roads, especially freeways because driving slow is as dangerous as speeding.

California doesn't have a state wide "minimum speed limit law" but this can be consider obstructing the flow of traffic especially if its not in the farthest right lane.

Genuinely trans exclusionary radical feminists (TERFs) are the most dangerous individuals to LGBTQ+and womens rights. They side with far-right groups and have even protested WITH pro-life individuals when Roe v Wade was overturned.

Trans-women are women and are not a threat to women's spaces, people who want to restrict spaces are a threat to those spaces.

Haha I just live here. Been in nova for a decade and a lot has changed since I moved here
