> I was speaking of Mussolini making the trains run on time

Do you know HOW he made the trains run on time?

When Mussolini came to power, Italy’s train system was the laughing stock of the world. Never on time. Some trains never even showed up.

Mussolini ordered that the entire crew of every late train was to be marched to the siding and shot in front of the passengers. This only had to be done a few times to get the trains to run on time.

My reply was sarcastic —
We supposedly live in free society but need to worry that net police are reading our replies.
I am aware of Mussolini making the trains run on time by executing crews that did not.

The point I was making crudely is that I am surprised that dumbo is not executing naysayers.

If I do not reply it probably because I got executed by one of dumbo’s minions

That is a myth.

Actually he had the schedules reprinted to show the time the trains actually ran, so they were "on time".
