i feel so bad for the us travel industry and all of the hospitality and other people who depend upon people coming to the us. it’s genuinely dangerous now to go there. and not just because of all the guns and shit. you might just disappear forever. what the fuck.

Jokes on them. They suck so badly I don’t fly anymore.

IBM supplied Nazis with the machines and punch cards to track the population. Throwing that out there for no particular reason. What where we talking about?

Now Google, Microsoft, and Meta are doing this. This is what we should be talking about.

In a country without privacy protections every citizen’s personal life is up for sale to anyone interested. It is disgusting.

We have Grayhound going hard on how ICE needs a warrant. Whole airlines are just giving out personal data away.
God, we have to make more modes of transportation great again because fucking airlines are so bad.

I was looking at Amtrack vs flying just the other day. Was really wanting to avoid flying. But the round trip flight was roughly $130 at cheapest, with layover. All options under 24 hrs. each way. 4 hr direct flights around $200.
Amtrack one way, was around $300 dollars. Three trains, with layovers. 100 hours each way.
Sucks that we still have no better options available! We should have had high speed rail infrastructure for decades now already

Crazy. In my country a yearly pass costs €850 for 2nd class.
But I am still a student, so trains are free for me.

That’s because Congress defunded Amtrak years ago while giving subsidies to airlines. We’re rebuilding a rail world. Cities and even suburbs are revitalizing. It’s a question of time before there is movement here.
