Wow on time. Must not be government run then 😛

Technically it is not. It is subsidized by the government, unfortunately, but run independently.

Sounds like the MTA here in LA. And anything that touches base with government tends to suffer at least here it does. 😛

Same here. I'm sure Amtrak would be better if it were privatized. 😀 😛

I agree. Private is good. 😀

I hear the post office might have to lay off about 200,000 people and stop Sat service in order to save money. 😱

I'm not surprised. Most of the postal workers around here who work inside the post office are quite lazy and have a bad attitude towards the public they allegedly serve. 😱

Yes, Atlas Shrugged is well worth reading even though over a thousand pages in paperback. It clearly illustrates the evils of collectivism. 😀 😛

PS: It was written in the period 1945 to 1957 and it is scary how many things in it have come to pass. 😱

Yea I think its about 1300 pages 😱 and yes thats how I heard about it reading a few web pages on the way government is increasing then I looked it up on wiki.
