If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Summary: Just think, it all began with "reaching across the aisle".

Yes, the war on the railroads was a huge mistake, economically. The trucking industry is unregulated, freer of unions and regulation, but less efficient.

The New York State Thruway and Pennsylvania Turnpike were built to fight the railroads.

The Penn Central railroad went bankrupt in 1970.
