Can we please stop blindly reposting fucking twitter screenshots?

It takes two seconds to search this heres one article with actual info in it. As opposed to the words of someone that pays to be on twitter.

    But wait, it gets worse! If you look closely, between the volume/speaker icon at the top and the text at the bottom, it seems this may actually be a screenshot of a TikTok showing the tweet. It's a shitception.

    I rode suicide outside on a freight train through glacier park. Majestic is honestly the only word that defines it accuratly.

    Is that where you mix all the different kinds of freight trains into one?

    It's where you hop on a freight train and ride on the outside. A freight train jungle juice would taste like dismembered body parts and shit.

    Are there bridges? Are those terrifying?

    We used to hop trains when we were kids. It's not terrifying until someone falls under the tracks and makes it out just in time.

    It seems like if you are on the side of a car, you would fall out and away. And be relatively safe if you are young or have a healthy body. The other commenter is talking about what sounds like a trip through a whole national park. Falling off a bridge sounds not so survivable.

    If they were intentionally trying to destroy those parks, they do not have the means or manpower to compare with what the administration has done already.

    These great tracks of natural beauty and resources that have existed since time are not long for this world.

    I so wish the original idea of libertarian, which is perfectly suited to the Rockies, would actually take off. Grew up there. There are plenty of fuck the government, do what you want, with a sprinkling of federalism (health care) that used to be very inspiring.

    So the relatively small number of NPS workers in coveted rolls -Not to be confused with the wage-slave hospitality workers that I once was.

    I’d rather use the money I’d pay for union dues to buy the most current video consoles.

    I'm a school bus driver and we're unionized (Teamsters) ... at least for now. Our contract states that if ever fewer than than 50% of the drivers are in the union, the contract is voided. A lot of the newer drivers are not signing up for the union because they don't want to pay the dues which are around $80 per month. We are surrounded by non-union school districts that pay their drivers about $8 less per hour and don't provide health insurance, PTO or a pension like we get.

    In case this isn't obvious, school bus drivers are generally some dumb motherfuckers.

    Good! I hiked the grand canyon. It was lovely. The people at the bottom loved us little kids hiking the trail so cheerfully. I want them to get paid well!

    I also loved Glacier, so cool!
