Honestly? I really doubt that, unless you consider the events that lead up to Conrail as already having had their Boeing days. The American rail industry is an absolute disaster, and has been for decades. Derailments happen quite frequently (on average 3 a day in the US), you just actually hear about them now due to East Palestine. None of this is new.

Because asking nicely stopped fascism the first time
Yeah no, this is one where I'll almost always say you got to go with your gut.
I don't have basis for this being the case here, but often time people are able to hold out when the threats are against them, but it's a whole other story if there starts to be credible threats against your family.
That's part of it, yes
But there is also a hardcore contingent to which controlling women is the goal. Theocratic Fascists tend to be that way.
Oh trust me, if It was drivable, I would've kept it.
Unfortunately a younger, much more sleep deprived me flipped it one morning.
Loved that damn car
We did routine oil changes between 5-6k miles until it started burning oil. I assure you, that was not the issue. We spent a while trying to figure it out before saying fuck it because it never gave us issues.
Had an old accord that started burning oil at about 100k miles. Lasted another 100k with only a handful of oil changes (I think none in it's last 50k, just topping it off as needed). Still worked perfectly fine besides very slowly burning oil when I totaled it at 200k miles.
I miss that car. I'm convinced I could've gotten at least 300k miles out of it.
Oh they're well aware that they're blatantly lying. Chuds don't argue in good faith.
Yes, I'm aware they're going to be hit currently. They would still be hit even if it shifted north to hit, for example, Cuba.
...who would still be hit if it shifted slightly north?
You mean the ones that would still be hit if it shifted north?
It's current path is over about as few people as you could ever hope for a storm of this size. Realistically, you knew I meant that and felt like being a smartass anyway.
E: typing is hard
Selling off Conrail is still an inexplicably stupid decision to me, even looking at it from the full neoliberal brainrot angle.
