Baltimoreans? When I was a young skull full of mush growing up south of there I thought they wuz called ‘Baltimorons.’
Didn’t we spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure repairs a few years ago?

If we quit subsidizing the beltway crowd and the other millionaire politicians that constitute the majority of the riders in the Northeast and allow Amtrak either die on the vine or revert back to private control, we would not have this problem.
I think the railroads could and would find a way to make passenger service profitable. Without the drama we have now.

The solution is obvious—— increase foreign aid and import twenty million more dreamers, refugees and H1bs who will fix the infra-structure Americans don’t want to.
There, I solved the problem.
Here on my little homestead out in the country in South Carolina, I sit and am truly thankful that I don’t have to worry about the Northeast Transportation Corridor.
