    Comparison of the two potential Transcontinental Railroad mergers. Not too much overlap, but still could be reducing competition, probably why shippers are opposed. All have implemented PSR practices that Wall Street loved. Approval will depend on what rules the Surface Transportation Board follows pre or post 2001. The latter was developed for the potential of a transcontinental merger as the writing on the wall was possible as at the time, BN and the Santa Fe had just merged, Union Pacific has acquired Southern Pacific, Eio Grande, and the Chicago and Northwestern, and Conrail had just split and acquired by Norfolk Southern and CSX.

    Last years acquisition of Kansas City Southern by Canadian Pacific was covered under earlier merger rules. It created a first of a different kind. First Railroad to have operations in Canada, United States, andMexico.

    If the UP/NS merger happens, more track for UP’s steam locomotives to run, although the Big Boy wasn’t really designed for operations outside of the Rockies and Wasatch Front.

    Redistricting wars, seems to be a Paige out of the playbook of one of the GOP’s new idols. In the past, Orban wanted to replace the European Parliament elections with appointments, because the EU doesn’t allow single-seat districts in the European Parliament elections. Proportional representation only, and Germany’s mixed system isn’t allowed either.

    While CalTrain in the Bay Area has electrified the SF-San Jose Commute service,the Commuter Rail operator in SoCal, Metrolink, continues to resist, and hiding behind the fact that they only own half their network. Although they may have a point, UP still owns the track the CalTrain uses from San Jose to Gilroy and current runs a Diesel shuttle on that portion of. The manufacturer of their Electric Multiple Unit is working on a prototype with the passenger area in the 1st car converted to a battery compartment. Would reduce passenger capacity but would restore one-seat ride, as a run under wire North of San Jose would recharge the battery.

    An innocent President would simply release the Epstein Files and demand a full FBI investigation into every Epstein client.

    That’s it.

    The only logical conclusion is that the Epstein files prove Fat Hitler’s guilt.

    Fat Hitler is in the Epstein Files. Massively.

    If the White House needed a Grand Ballroom, wouldn’t they have built one a long time ago?

    The new space is so they can invite the new justices from the Supreme Court Carville wants to pack and the new Congresscritters from the states Carville wants to create:

    “[T]he Democrats talk about democracy … and preserving democracy and saving democracy — well, the truth of the matter is, people are right when they say this democracy is really imperfect,” Carville said. “And they’re going to have to do — if the Democrats win the presidency, the Senate and the House in 2028 … they are just going to have to unilaterally add Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia as states.”

    “The Constitution gives Congress power over federal elections. I don’t think they’re going to redistrict, but … they’re going to have to do it. They’re just going to have to do it,” he added. “And they may have to expand the Court to 13 members. Any of those things in isolation, I would be skeptical about, I would be cautious about, I would say, ‘Well, I don’t know if that’s the greatest idea in the world. You’re opening Pandora’s box.’”

    However, Carville said he believed it was necessary to “do all of those things” in order to “save democracy.”

    Because “democracy” is doing shit unilaterally but only when Democrats do it.

    “Democracy” is whatever a Democrat running scared says it is.

    The first two charts in your linked piece are silly. All they do is add up each row’s Column A and Column B numbers to come up with the figures in Column C. Even Welfare Queen can do that without help. (OK, maybe not The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, but still.)

    The combined companies will have fewer employees to do the same work, their trains will travel fewer miles to do the same work because of the improved efficiency, and they will earn greater profit from the same work. That’s not A+B = C the way the piece charts it, and the piece isn’t worth much if it can’t put projections in a chart to demonstrate what will happen when the companies combine. Because it won’t be straight addition. Companies don’t pay premiums to acquire other companies unless there is something better to be gained than straight addition.

    Trump administration seeking $1 billion settlement from UCLA

    A draft of a proposed agreement sent to the school Friday and obtained by CNN requires UCLA to pay the federal government $1 billion over multiple installments, along with a $172 million claims fund for people impacted by violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

    The agreement the administration is proposing – which, if agreed to, would mark the biggest settlement it’s received from a higher education institution — requires a resolution monitor to oversee the school, as well as a new senior administrator who will be focused on compliance with anti-discrimination laws.

    UC is reaching out to its alumni for help. Funny.

    @LauraLoomer

    There are probably so many people who the Army could honor who have received the Medal of Honor. But who did the Army choose to honor instead on their social media page under the Trump admin?

    @FlorentGroberg Florent Groberg, a Democrat who spoke at the 2016 DNC where he campaigned against Trump in support of @HillaryClinton and was praised by Obama.
    You’d think that the US Army of all places would actually invest in some proper vetting, but nope.
    Inadequacy, screw ups, and zero political knowledge of anything in the Trump era is totally accepted my many in this admin.

    Under the Army Secretary Dan Driscoll @SecArmy, there have been several instances of either him, or the Army promoting anti-Trump Leftists on their official social media channels.

    Remember the Vindman screw up?

    Are we supposed to believe the Army couldn’t find a Republican and US born soldier?

    They had to find an immigrant who voted for Hillary Clinton and spoke at the DNC as Obama’s guest?

    On August 8, 2012 Florence Groberg tackled a suicide bomber keeping the bomber from reaching his patrol unit. The bomber detonated his device effectively ending Groberg’s military career.

    For his actions on that day Florence Groberg was awarded the Medal of Honor.

    Looner is off her gourd angry the army would take notice of the anniversary of his actions.

    Alex Acosta called Epstein’s accusers whores…

    Hey, who was it upthread who mentioned Carville?

    Drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park…

    And let’s not forget #CrookedHillary:

    Hillary was fully on board. When a rock groupie told Penthouse in late 1991 that a state trooper approached her on Gov. Clinton’s behalf, Hillary said “we have to destroy her story.”

    When the Star tabloid reported that Clinton had affairs with five Arkansas women, including Gennifer Flowers, the Clinton campaign waved affidavits signed by all them denying it. (This is what Clinton had advised Flowers to do in a taped conversation.) Then, Flowers admitted to an affair, saying it had lasted 12 years.

    In response, Hillary did the famous “60 Minutes” interview with Bill, sitting by him as he delivered a lawyerly denial of the 12-year allegation specifically (he later admitted having sex with Flowers once). Hillary joined the strategy sessions over what verbiage to use in the interview.

    The truth never mattered too much. When after Bill was elected president state troopers began to tell of how he had used them to procure women, the possibility of federal jobs and threats of retaliation were wheeled out to try to keep them silent.

    What else ya got? Weak.

    Really! Who among you has not been repeatedly accused and convicted of sexual assault after talking about your adolescent daughter’s ass, admitting to forcibly penetrating women with your fingers, and formed your closest personal relationship in your adult life with a convicted child sex trafficker and his chief recruiter?

    @9 Can you think of a reason why D.C. residents shouldn’t have voting representation in Congress? Other than the largest demographic is black?

  42. 42

    @18 There are basically three ways UCLA can pay this extortion demand: Raise tuition, look to taxpayers, or its endowment.

    The latter is the most likely source of funds. $1 billion represents somewhat more than 10% of UCLA’s total endowment funds.

    This would be taking money away from scholarships, teaching positions, and research.

    All to make UCLA’s student body white again. And the dumbfuck doctor is cheering it on.

  43. 43

    @ 40

    Can you think of a reason why D.C. residents shouldn’t have voting representation in Congress? Other than the largest demographic is black?

    Same reason eastern OR shouldn’t have its own US senators and central California shouldn’t have its own US senators. Essentially the same reason why each federal judicial district shouldn’t have its own SCOTUS AJ.

    The reason is because it won’t stop there, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. A SCOTUS expanded to 13 can be expanded to 21, to 25, to 99, and beyond.

    Harry Reid has fucked Democrats. At the time he was specifically warned about the consequences of going nuclear. Reid did it anyway.

    Democrats want to pull another Harry Reid to get back to where they were before they ignored warnings and pulled a Harry Reid. Which will make Republicans respond in kind. Which will …

    Nope.

  45. 45

    @ 42

    This would be taking money away from scholarships, teaching positions, and research.

    Tellingly, not from the administrators responsible for putting UCLA in this predicament.

    All to make UCLA’s student body white again.

    To make UCLA’s student body one of merit-based admittees. So whiter and notably more Asian-heritage, which is what will happen if the DEI thumb is removed from the scale. Sadly for liberals, that’s what merit means. Happily for taxpayers, admission policies based on merit require far fewer administrators – see preceding paragraph.

    Less money paid to administrators means more money for scholarship and research. Ooh – can’t have that, say Democrats like Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit.

  46. 46

    To make UCLA’s student body one of merit-based admittees.

    including “legacy” admissions for idiot sons (special allowances for daughters seeking “mrs degrees”, else what’s a frat boi to do?)

    “Merit” financed by fancy shit prep schools, tutoring, special “contributions”, etc..

    Happily for taxpayers, admission policies based on merit require far fewer administrators – see preceding paragraph.

    It’s so simple.. Whites only, the (white) rich always get richer and all “abnormals” EXCLUDED (save for a few useful suckups who know their “place”)

    Yeah one white guy, idiot son can manage that.

    The other option for UCLA is tell them to fuck off. The DOJ determined that the only way for Jewish Students to be ‘safe’ on the small area of Campus near Janss Steps; note here it was Jewish students who launched a bottle and rock throwing violent attack on the protesters, is to keep any and all criticism of Israel’s Genocide off campus.

    Refusing to pay the bribe and asking Alumni to help with the grants UCLA won’t get for the next three years is a much easier sell than, ‘Please help us pay Donald Trump and the extreme White a bribe.”

    @31 What Loomer really has against Groberg is he’s an immigrant. He earned the Medal of Honor by tackling a suicide bomber, saving American lives. The explosion sent him flying, blew off part of his leg muscle, and left him with a ruptured eardrum and traumatic brain injury. I guess he isn’t dead enough to satisfy Loomer, who never served in the military, has never been elected to any public office, and is basically a POS nobody criticizing a war hero.

    But she has Trump’s ear — she’s the kind of people he listens to — and next thing you know he’ll be revoking MOHs awarded to heroes who aren’t Republican enough to satisfy him, or her. Of course he can’t do that, but he attempts a lot of things he can’t do.

    While this undoubtedly is a blow to O’Rourke’s struggles for attention ahead of the mid terms, it lacks the relevant context that there is literally a perfectly legal cash competition to fund quorum breaking Democrats, with billionaire J. B. Pritzker in the lead.

    91)Surprised they haven’t made this Dallas based corporation drop this policy. Thought maybe the decision came from the parent company HQ in Munich, but it has been in effect since a month before FlixMobility bought it from Aberdeen, Scotland based FirstGroup. Although this is Interstate Commerce, Federal jurisdiction.

    https://www.greyhound.com/warrantless-bus-searches

    When FLIX first entered its US market, they initially avoided directly buying any company, but instead using their successful FlixBus model that allowed them to become dominant in the German intercity Coach market a few short years after the Merkel government repealed the 1930s era ban on such operations. FLIX acted more like Uber than a traditional bus company, made the smaller operators their partners. Even gotten involved in the nascent Open-Access Intercity Passenger rail market. Won’t happen here, FlixTrain would have a hard time securing access to the network.

    96)Been seeing some on Twitter when confronted with the jury pool in DC(even under Federal Control pre-Home Rule they still had juries), say that the Russiagate Treason trials will be done by DoD because according to Twitter bot lawyers, only the DoD can try treason cases. There reasoning is the perceived efficiency of military justice. In reality, the military’s death penalty process may be the slowest in the country. They got one inmate the Supreme Court rejected the appeal in 2018, for a sentence first issued at court martial in 1988. Still hasn’t been transferred from Fort Leavenworth to Terre Haute. The allegedly more efficient post 9/11 military commission, even slower.

    As for people who think that theory I mentioned, would that guy be dismissed for cause by a prosecutor or defense attorney , or would they have to waste a peremptory challenge.

    I’ve watched American Traitor on Amazon Prime, about the Trial of Axis Sally, actors playing the lead counsels were a mismatch. Al Pacino for the Defense, Skinner from the X-Files for the Prosecution. The defense lawyer was originally the usual reluctant public defender, but came around. He had lost a son in the war, got the impression, ETO. Only conviction was a broadcast of a radio play about the Germans slaughtering the invasion force, and in a way, a case of bad timing. We weren’t telling anyone of our plans for June of 1944 that May, we were too busy tricking the Germans into looking elsewhere along the Channel Coast. Although Kurt Vonnegut did write a good one on such a broadcaster being a secret allied agent (mostly just secret codes from the script presented by another agent). So secret, asking for a pardon, government would say, never heard of him.

    It seems, Railfan, that you’re taking these TV shows’ content a bit too seriously. When I link to a movie clip it’s clearly sarcasm. In your case, Railfan, it is not clear at all that you can differentiate between reality and TV dialogue.

    If there are military trials it may be because of the likelihood of conviction vs. likelihood through civil trial.

    Box seats for the Cubs. Signed jersey for Jr. DuSable Lakeshore is amazing in August. Catching a blues show tonight. Chicago summer ’25!

    You can get your Uber driver to drop you off at Comiskey. But you can’t get one to pick you up there.

    I’m a fan of Magnificent Mile. Safer there. Avoid Ditka’s.

    Recent computer science and computer engineering graduates experience twice the unemployment rate of art history and biology graduates.

    Only because the former feel an obligation to go out and look for a job. If you don’t look for a job, you don’t show up in the unemployment rate.

    Oh. If you’re trying to distinguish between STEM and liberal arts grads, you’ve probably got biology degree-holders in the wrong category. Unless you need them to hide the unemployment rates of the art history majors, which is likely.

    @102 we need to remind silly dumbfuck of its braindead ignorant shit about “learn to code” or “BS or gtfo”..

    Neither of my sons have showed an interest in coding, a job that is increasingly being obviated by AI. The oldest has a BA degree and has been gainfully employed since shortly after graduating. He looked for employment right out of the gate.

    The youngest has a BS degree in a hard science – say bio, chem or physics. I won’t say which but it required a lot of gnarly math. After working hard on pre-reqs for pro school at the local jc, (one course is one of the most demanding you can take at a jc), he obtained a credential at a trade tech for a job that would boost his cred in the pro school application process. He worked at the job steadily, earning union scale pay throughout the long process of studying for admittance exams, scoring highly on them and then competing for admittance to professional schools throughout the country.

    He is now attending professional school and living in his own studio apt walking distance from classes. His parents are now empty nesters and satisfied with the job they did raising their two children. His chosen profession will be revealed formally in 4 years when the youngest obtains his professional licensing. It will be rubbed in dumbfuck’s ignorant face.

    dumbfuck is fucked in the head and will fritter the rest of its life babbling idiocies on a liberal blog with a dozen commenters. btw, dumbfuck the fantasy of your lifetime is waiting for you @ 85.. Do fritter the rest of it away.

    If you don’t look for a job, you don’t show up in the unemployment rate.

    And you give up looking after you realize with a gut shot feeling that your facility with JSON has been rendered obsolete by AI and you never developed the common social skills needed to collaborate with other human beings to perform any other useful work.

    More racism from the Dumbfuck.

    Fans arriving to the ballpark via a rideshare service will be dropped off in Lot A and can proceed to Gate 5 to enter.

    Fans leaving the ballpark via a rideshare service will be picked up by their driver in the Rideshare Lot in Lot A.

    Like all MLB Stadiums you can’t get an Uber to pick you up by walking a block from home plate and expecting them to ‘bend the rules’ and potentially lose their drover account because you’re too precious to walk around the infield concourse.

    But this one guy on Twatter said Uber won’t pick up near Comisky because of…..black crime in Chicago.

    The sent JayDee out on the Sunday shows to argue Democrats are all over the Epstein files and they should be grateful it’s still under wraps.

    JD Vance: “We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot connections with left-wing politicians and left-wing billionaires … Democrat billionaires and Democrat political leaders went to Epstein island all the time. Who knows what they did.”

    We would know if Bondi releases the list but we all understand why she didn’t.

    111)Was just referring to the mismatch of the actors, plus, the actor who played Skinner isn’t as well known as the other guy mentioned.

    Plus, the Star Trek Discovery, would not mind it being used as a test case for determining the rules for such appearances in streaming. As for that episode, it was about the Federation getting back together after the Burn. when ai first heard of the time jump premise, sounded like Omega had happened, but had that happened, Space travel in the show would have been gone permanently.

    Babylon 5 was a good series, especially it’s long story arcs, and even some foreshadowing in the pilot, As the Earth Alliance was holding the Presidential Election, one of the station officers said the running mate couldn’t be trusted. Next season, he was President, although J. Michael Strazynski, if he wanted the viewer to believe the official story in the script, a President and VP normally don’t travel together.(The episode where President Santiago’s ship explodes, the VP had got off before the next jump, saying he was sick)

    One of the prequels set up the xenophobia on Earth that occurred throughout the series. A lop-sided war where the alien enemy surrendered as they were about to wipe out Earth, because the souls of the human pilots captured or killed in The Battle of the Line, were re-incarnated from their race.

    Sorry, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. Too far for you to walk and you can’t afford bus fare to get there.

    @100 Doctor Dumbfuck is lecturing us about reality. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one here who finds that terribly funny. 😅🤣🤪

    @119 Huh. Grand touring model starts at $94,900 plus tax, license, etc. Even loaded with options, I could pay cash for two, one for me and one for the missus, but why would I want to? Waste of money, if you ask me, since I drive <2K miles a year and she not at all. I can't even wear out my 23-year-old car, it's under 50K miles and runs like the day it was new.

    The dumbfuck seems infatuated with electric cars, probably to get out of paying gas tax. Thinks he’ll get to use public roads and highways free.

    FBI, January 2025 “violent crime at 30 year low in Washington DC”

    Donald “cognitive test” Trump August 2025 “violent crime in DC is so out of hand. I’m sending in 1000 national guard at your expense taxpayers.

    @124 Well, we now have an inkling of what a Trump takeover of D.C. will look like, don’t we?

    President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to evict homeless people from the nation’s capital and jail criminals, despite Washington’s mayor arguing there is no current spike in crime.

    While details of the plan were unclear, the administration is preparing to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, a U.S. official told Reuters, a controversial tactic Trump used recently in Los Angeles to tackle immigration protests over the objections of local officials.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/national-guard-washington-dc-trump_n_68995131e4b07d71851c8f66?gro

    That’s just great. National Guardsmen trained in riot control but not legal requirements to detain or arrest, are going to take over policing. Gonna be a lot of random stop-and-frisk and warrantless search in D.C. To legalize this, Trump will quietly declare martial law.

    Trump has already designated homelessness as a crime. It’s a short step from there to press gangs rounding up homeless people and sending them into the fields to replace deported farmworkers. In D.C., most of this conscripted farm labor will be black, which is just fine with those who share Trump’s vision of America being for whites again.

  126. 126

    @124 This is just one more step by Trump toward militarizing American cities. He’s a one-trick pony, and totally unsubtle. His “solution” to all urban ills is sending people with guns. He can’t think of anything else.

    121)So means you have the bus fare, both the fate today and, and what it’s going to be on September 1. About time Metro raised tge fare, although I want to see farebox recovery increased, need to at least match Sound Transit.
