    Don't do Amtrak dirty like that. They've been trying so hard, even though Congress keeps neglecting the fuck out of them

        dont you understand? it would be COMMUNISM not to make everyone drive in their metal box whose safety, comfort, and efficiency are entirely dependent on how much you can pay and which must be a core part of your consumer identity. Also, if you want, you can buy a metal box that is big and heavy enough to kill anyone and anything you hit with it in a collision.
