Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Maybe they can be convinced to support upgrading rail to be a more viable competitor to flying, then? 🥺

But they won't want to build the infrastructure! And if they force black people and Mexicans to build it they'll simultaneously scream "woke agenda taking our jobs" and "look, look how nice we are allowing these underprivileged people work grueling hours for next to no pay!"

And besides, it's not up to us to fund the upgrading! You do it!

Man you nailed every possible Schrodinger's scapegoat there.
