Elon better keep his fucking hands away from amtrak, I feel like he would just make it shittier to justify getting rid of it entirely

Pay attention to what they haven't done - which is do anything with the board of directors. That's not their MO when it comes to agencies they want to get rid of, because replacing underlings is pointless when you can replace the boss (and Gardner isn't the boss in this context).

Elon Musk is such a goddamned idiot. The only reason the rail systems of other countries is so great is because those other countries support them with public funds.

I can't confirm if DOGE is actually behind this, but I have a sneaking suspicion

My fam is already cheering it on because “Amtrak doesn’t turn a profit” didn’t bother reading the article they sent myself, but here’s what they see www.trains.com/trn/news-rev...

I just started working here a year ago and my stress just spiked. That statement is so ominous. None of my coworkers think any good will come from this. Chat we are so cooked
