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.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

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

And that’s basically it!

Welp, I'm fine continuing to never get on a plane post PATRIOT ACT.

All American Roadtrips forever, apparently.

Hahahah, in this economy?

I mean, I agree with the big picture ides, but look at California.

Been trying to do highspeed rail for over a decade, has accomplished almost nothing.

We'd have to revamp soooo many parts of so many systems, to even maybe be able to do anything in a reasonable amount of time.

Oh also we don't know how to build anything, anymore.

We'll basically have to hope we get a second FDR, but that doesn't seem very likely... more likely we balkanize, frankly.
