> fuck them and Congress should nationalize them

Like ConRail 2.0 or on a more permanent basis? Either is fine by me. No way could it be worse than what the railroads have turned into.

I guess? I'll be honest, I don't really care if the solution is nationalization or simply just better anti-trust/competition regulations and better labor protections (with actual enforcement). Because right now both all of us in American society and the railroad workers are getting fucked. Especially the railroad workers.

As you said, no way could it be worse than what the railroads have turned into.

Conrail but make it permanent instead of selling it as soon as it turned a profit.

Because seriously why the fuck would you sell it off as soon as it started to stand on its own.

Gotta be sure to protect it from the same antagonism the post office experiences though.
