@EWErickson A little farther distance yet so much cheaper. 🤔 Almost like not going over a state line saves $$$ somehow.
Interestingly, though, they claimed to be building a high-speed train on this route.
@sentdefender I am pretty sure that the new one does not have the defensive capabilities of the old one. They got into turkey cause I ran did didn’t know when they were coming. But decided to take the one that has flares and other defensive capabilities home.
Disappointed to see this using the “conservative pounce” formulation.
I’m Gen X. All of us, including liberals like me, were there when we watched a nation filled with brilliant people put its best minds to making socialism work. It was an unparalleled disaster — not just economically, but environmentally, and certainly from a human rights perspective as well.
The fact that we now have people on both the right and the left who think Lenin was on to something, or that “real socialism has never been tried,” is mind-blowing. It represents a massive generational failure of our K–PhD system. They didn’t learn the history, philosophy, or economics that would have prevented them from falling for the same midwittery that too many of our grandparents fell for.
Sure, it sounds nice. Utopia always does. But it was a colossal disaster that we must not repeat.
So no, Axios. The news isn’t that the GOP is sounding the alarm. It’s that more genuine liberals aren’t.
