Dead giveaway is always incorrect grammar and spelling AND MATH!
This is a garbage site. The government-run passenger rail system is called AMTRAK—not Amtrack. Dead giveaway is always incorrect grammar and spelling.

Ha ha! So are you a mailman or a conductor?
I always thought it was LAMETRACK...
Amtrak buys its sodas in cans, McDonald’s buys its soda in syrup boxes and sells it through soda fountains, which is always cheaper per serving than canned pop. The same with bottled beer vs draft beer.

I’m not the guy posting the article. Ask him.
As for the ability of the federal to run a business they couldn’t make a profit on a federally run whorehouse ... never saw numbers on how many Congressional fact finding missions helped to cause that ... and for that matter what is the GS level for prostitute or madame? Did they get transferred to other jobs after the house of federal ill repute closed down?
No argument with you there !
Amtrak is also the only corporation that can lose money selling booze.

Amtrak trains take anywhere from 3 1/2 to 4 hours to carry passengers from Cumberland Maryland to Washington D.C.! I could beat the train time on a 4-wheeler!
“$3.40 per serving???”
Click-bait bites again!
humblegunner is the self appointed blog Nazi.
I wonder how many actual and potential members of freerepublic he's turned off, and so they aren't here.
I come here for the interesting comments, but notice how odd you are. Really, it is odd how you are like the Post Police. What is up with you?
If you are going to write an article about Amtrak, it adds credibility to spell Amtrak correctly.
Good catch.
How do you pay $3.40 a serving? I can beat that at a convenience store.
And as you are so correct, I ask those of you/us who think alike to consider what secession would do.
For one..no more obnoxious laws made by bastards in DC.
No more federal income tax. A state sales tax collected and after the states take their cut, the rest goes to the NEW federal government.
Take the present US Constitution and adopt it.
Also, Amend the present Constitution to do so, Also amend it so no supreme court justices can serve longer than say...till they are 65 or 70. One term POTUS-6 years only, and they adjudicate as the constitution is written and not interpret it and they see fit. Senate selected by the state legislatures. Follow the enumerated powers TO THE TEE! NO GD FEDERAL LAND! Other than the central district-ten miles square, and ports (ports of entry) and for defense purposes-none of them to be larger than ten miles square or they lease them from the state they are within. No lawyers can serve as a congressman AT ALL.
Make it clear that the powers delegated are such, Individual, Family, District/Township, County, State and then WAY TO HECK AT THE BOTTOM, the New Federal government.
ALL UNDER GOD.
I never considered secession much at all until..the supreme court rejected the TX and enjoining states case against the state of PA on its violation of the 14th amendment.
I am now full bore for it.
And they suck. Or at least they did a year ago.
Two years ago they were almost decent.

You really should get a life.
So....
Put McDonald’s on the Amtrack trains then.
