It’s sad the state Amtrak is in. Still love it but it’s literally hanging by a thread.

Took me fucking 10 hours to go from Dallas to San Antonio. It usually takes 3 by car…

Although It might vary by geography. My experience riding Amtrak in the northeast during the winter time was incredible. Texas brainrot probably had that shit stripped bare

Good thing the USA has one of the best rail systems in the world. Instead of passengers, it hauls all the crap you order off of Amazon

That must be why mobile and discriminating populations choose to move to China.

So, as suspected, the US is one shorted switch away from barbarism

That seems like a rather arbitrary measure. I could just as easily state “The state of the cereal aisle is the most reliable measure…”

Through a postcolonialist lens this is pretty clever. Use of civilized as a term to excuse the racist and expansionist actions of one’s own country, expansion which happens to have coincided with railways being central to industrial power. Now the colonized are civilized, are we the barbarians?

Unironically thinking like that is the real ape-brained behavior.

Riding a fast train in China was one of my worst Chinese experiences.

I can't claim to have ridden anything in the US though..

The state of the rail system is a relatively reliable measure of how densely populated a country is.

Oh, Canada!
