remember in 2020 when everyone was showing the amtrak across the country map and saying, "the one thing we can count on joe biden for is clearing the way to get the country back on rails! trains from coast to coast! trains everywhere!"
i miss that.
you know how twitter had that "there's always a dril post" thing? i'm pretty sure you only ever reply to me with a post you already made 3-11 months ago.
this is a compliment.
i've never been almost anywhere. i could conceivably afford to see cali in a world like this. then i could come home and be like, "ugh. cali." like a grownup from outside of cali.
I doubt train tickets would be much cheaper than planes if at all, but I do like them.
Also I have no clue where you are (perhaps by design) but I’m in Cali! So you could come hang with me!
i'm cagey about it on main but would tell you in dm. and yes, we could do that. corinne is smarter, funnier, and cuter, but also sensibly less terminally online.
stephanie, it's so clear.
● jamie quinn is married to corinne
● alexandra is the external, furry canopic jar where jamie keeps her soul
● pia is a tyrannical real estate developer, lawyer, & general businessgal
● river is pia's unpaid intern, who can't get jobs done cos all she has is a candy phone
All I’m saying, is if you ran a high speed rail from the UP to the LP of Michigan, people could work commute one hour and live for a fraction of the cost of the cities and suburbs.
It’s really weird that the US doesn’t have a more substantial inter-city rail network. I can understand people wanting to fly coast to coast or even state to state, but the distances involved between neighbouring cities seem optimal for rail journeys.
