It was in his recent interview with Pod Save America

All three state supported VA rail routes are on this map, along with the Cardinal, the Crescent, and the I-95 Amtrak routes. The S-Line isn’t, but it also doesn’t exist yet. Same with the Commonwealth Corridor. VRE shares tracks with Amtrak, so it is there, but does not have any visible effect on this map.

It’s not just Amtrak, you can see Metra, LIRR, Metro North, and MBTA routes on the map around their respective cities. And I’m not convinced there are hundreds of regional rail services in America, maybe if you count heritage railroads, but even then I think you won’t be getting too far above 100 and those don’t actually take people from point A to point B generally, so it’s arguable that they count as passenger rail service

Not that old. Between when Katrina wiped out the New Orleans-Jacksonville route in 2005 and when they partially restored the route in 2025. The only missing line I see is the Atlantic City line, which was out of service for about a week after Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and about 8 months for signal modernization work in 2018-2019, so it is probably an accurate map of the available services in late 2018. It’s worth noting that most of the lines on the map have one train per day per direction or fewer also, so if anything this map undersells the difference between US rail service and European rail service

Looks kind of like one of the slices of meat that comes in the Aldi brand Gyro sandwich kit, but less appealing

As deplorable as if USA diplomats pitched their private prison system or Ice detention camps as an e portable product/system. Authoritarians sharing tips on how best to do repressive regimes as a matter of public record in the world governance body is a gut-punch reality check on the state of the world

I was talking about the UK in my comment replying to the person that said the UK was not involved in Iran, not the US

They were pretty involved with Iran

Well, yes but that is also true for a number of car-dependent food deserts in the US. Culdesac has transit access to other neighborhoods, so losing internal grocery distribution would be akin to one of those communities losing their only grocery store and having to travel 30+ minutes by car to the next one. For example, culdesac is a 16 minute streetcar ride from a trader joe’s near ASU/downtown Tempe. There are towns of comparable population to culdesac that also have 1-2 grocery stores and would require driving longer than that to reach the next one if that retailer went out of business

No, specifically the US can’t declare war unless a majority in Congress are in agreement

Fuck man I wish my country’s vote surprised/shocked me even a little teeny bit

Is this data in the room with us?

Lebanese German Bosnian Turkish Qatari

A lot less on a per capita served basis than it would take to drive all those people that are served by the truck to the place where the food comes from and back again

Also the straits being useful for Iran is what is keeping them from mining it or at least keeping them from mining it in a substantial manner to make it impassible

People are saying that the Tusken Raiders have lightsabers and probably killed their own women and children
