Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.

One of the special things about class before thanksgiving is because the numbers dwindle, folks that have wanted to speak the whole year start speaking. They may not be comfortable speaking with 264 in a room but 50ish folks seems inviting. I love it.

I know very few people who think the cost of public transit is prohibitive.
It’s that public transit in the US is treated in most cities like the thing you slap on after the fact.

The issue isn’t cost. It’s that the entire infrastructure in this country has been put into cars. Parking lots everywhere and bus stations nowhere. Light rail that comes every half an hour and isn’t synchronized so it takes forever if you have to switch lines.

It would take me more than 2 hours one way, and I can drive in half an hour.

I am super-pro-public transit, and use it way more than the average American, but I live near a light rail station with very, very stable and predictable scheduling, and even then I would not use it for many things I use a car for because the cost of transit is time.
i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine
"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people
