And now for some good news

Surprisingly the right thing to do. How soon before it is overturned due to business lobbying? :thinking:

It’s very well past the point that we have to put our rich people in check.

This is indeed good news. Now there are two trains in both directions between Chicago and the Twin Cities. Today is the first day of the Borealis Service.

This will mean for me:

  • No more dealing with the Empire Builder. The most unreliable train Amtrak has. It’s routinely 1 – 3 hours late. I saw one time it was an entire day late.
  • No 6-hours spent waiting in Union Station.
  • No more arriving at St Paul at 11PM. St Paul is usually dead. But by 11PM it is practically decomposing.
  • No more riding in Superliners. Superliners are Amtrak’s most vaunted rail car, but I think they are not too super. I think they are cramped, smell bad, and sway too much because you’re sitting high in the air.

I and three other people can get into many local museums for free or at a vastly reduced admission price, due to me having the MIBridge/EBT card! This is Socialism at work, and I wanna take advantage of it while I can before the GOP decides it’s too gay or too satanic, or…GASP…too inclusive! It’s for EVERYONE!

Only 48 to go! I forgot how many territories the US owns, though.

I thought all of those things were woke, LOL!

That seems to be assuming there’s a stable definition for “woke”… rather than “something I don’t like”.
