[QUOTE]Originally posted by George Harris: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [qb] There are reports elsewhere that Amtrak has been running trains with reduced consists simply because too many cars have been Bad Ordered. The reports also suggest that many of the Bad Orders result from "passenger convenience" items such as working toilets and light fixtures. Does anyone think a Ukranian fleeing the war zone would be "uh, too worried" about any of such? So long as the car could stay on the rails, I don't think they'd be too worried even if the failed parts were running gear. [/qb][/QUOTE]Uh, no. These people moving in both directions are operating with a level of desperation that makes people clinging to the outside of trains in India look calm and orderly. It is simply far beyond what most people in this country can even begin to comprehend. A prime example of this level of non-comprehension is that supposedly when Zelenskyy appeared on zoom before congress some people complained that he should have been better dressed than he was. I think the man has more things on his mind than to be worried about whether his hair is combed or his (nonexistent) tie is straight. It is like several years ago when there was a significant hurricane and flooding in New Orleans, the mayor is reputed to have said, send us Greyhounds. I am not going to ask my people to get on school buses. Multiple drownings. Aerial shots after the hurricane showed a lot full of school buses flooded to above the inside floor. Sorry folks, if I need to in order to escape a flood, the back of a truck is just fine with me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
