Every time I hear about AOC's New Green Dream Deal (or whatever she calls it), I can't help thinking about that song "The Wreck Of The Old 97".

Reason being, at the time that it happened, airmail was just a fad, and there was only one paved highway in the united states, so the railways were even worse than then airlines or trucking lines of today. It was a mess.

AOC wants to take us back to that.

Oh,  yeah, updating our technology, incorporating new methods and advances in electrical technology into our power grid,  modernizing and upgrading our ways of generating and distributing electricity will be just like going back to the dawn of the 20th century....  :lookingup:

Send them a bunch of random scenes cut together and make sure there are some death scenes in there. They will just assume it is a classic Giallo.

Seriously; I live in a state where all the power lines are above ground, and nobody wants to fix it, because it would be too expensive and take too long.

Do you really think pulling the airplanes out of the sky & pulling cars & trucks off the road just so we can flood the rail systems is the answer?

That is absolute and total bull$&!#.

AOC is endorsing creating a new high speed,  modern,  efficient train network,  like most advanced nations have, that would be both economically and environmentally vialble as an alternative to air travel. Trains are far more fuel efficient in term s of fuel burned per ton per mile. Americans train network is an outdated embarrassment to the nation. Most modern nations have train networks that are far faster,  safer,  more modern and efficient than americas rusting,  creaking Amtrak system.

Aoc simply wants to create rapid rail train systems using technology long  established in Europe and Asia that will be far more cost and fuel efficient. In america such efforts are routinely sabotaged by big business and government,  aoc just want to make high speed rail a real alternative to plane travel.  Yes,  such ciukdtwke planes out of the sky by making them less viable than a modern,  hitech, efficient rapid train network. That's increasing choices,  not limiting them.

Been looking over Civil War era revolver replicas...
I'm a wee tad surprised the Smith & Wesson Models 1 & 2 aren't a little more popular... 
Then again, I suppose even Farbys would rather their cylinder stay in the gun...
