  @dangillmor So what do you expect a DoT exec to do on a regular basis besides attend cabinet meetings and sign budgets? Historically, what have most accomplished, whether D or R, in an industry significantly deregulated in the past, whether air, road or rail? Deregulation was the game changer in safety and supply.

  @tristansnell The man lives for the past. The world has passed him by. He is now a dinosaur. America: don’t be fooled. There was nothing “great” about the past. We don’t want to repeat it. Move forward for humanity.

  @metacurity @patrickcmiller @Ron_Fab @hacks4pancakes interesting concept. Improve and update critical systems to eliminate vulnerabilities. Yet profit-grabbing CEOs and greedy stockholders won’t even maintain crumbling infrastructure of railroads, refineries, pipelines, water supplies or heavy manufacturing plants. We’re doomed unless that changes.

  @Annaeus @krisSacrebleu Keep in mind that the initial American approach was to offer a “ride” to safety. It was Zelenskyy, a true leader who inspired his people to repel an invasion: I need ammunition not a ride. Never forget that. Slava Ukraini!

  @Annaeus @krisSacrebleu Please do not equate Trump international activities with America or the American spirit. It didn’t take much inspiration by Zelensky to light a fire in the Azov regiment. So many fought to their death.

  @Annaeus @krisSacrebleu If we fail, we will be the laughingstock of the free world, as they pass us by while Trump grinds our free society into the serfdom of the former gilded age.

  @SkipFleming @ArmyGirl @Annaeus @krisSacrebleu “Live free or die” didn’t just come from independent New Hampshire during The American Revolution: Vivre libre ou mourir (“Live Free or Die”) was a popular motto of the French Revolution.

  @nonlinear Send the bill for total cleanup and medical costs for residents to the Norfolk Southern stockholders. If you share the profits, you should also share the blame. Follow the money.

  @morgfair And even with this, the segment of the population that is addicted to Fox “news”

  @krisSacrebleu Lonesome Lake is nice but like almost everything in the White Mtns is too accessible to the large crowds that now throng to the area

  @Halfdan You saw the beauty of the world and captured a slice of it in your memory. How many on that plane missed that, appeased by the two-dimensional world of seatback video, tablets or phones?

  @briankrebs I think I need to contact my electricity utility for a firmware update to my outlet plug.

  @aka_quant_noir Crudités. Charcuterie is a necessity in life and goes better with wine.

• Post #1830977

  @aka_quant_noir Ah, apologies are in order for not thinking of that. Crudités just brings to mind the Mehmet Oz stumble in the produce aisle.

  Cold, windy night. Wishing I was back “downtown” instead

  @joewynne @the_etrain@masto.ai No way! You don’t understand the differences in those states if you don’t live there. It’s not like dividing Wyoming up into 4 equal sections just to give ranchers 6 more seats in The Senate.

  @rockmastermike @the_etrain@masto.ai Just wait a few years until sea level rises. Nature might do that for you.

  @professorkiosk @AmishSuperModel @the_etrain@masto.ai Just start protesting a lot. Maybe your governor will buy you a plane or bus ride to somewhere else. I hear he’s done that before.

  @the_etrain@masto.ai I’m not so sure. Puerto Rico might decide to join the EU instead, given the choice, considering the way the US has treated them in the last 125 years.
