       @mjg59 we in Pittsburgh identify more with the midwest. It's Philly that identifies as east-coast.You can probably get a cheap flight from Dulles to Pittsburgh, though.

       @mjg59 was that a rhetorical question or is "because the american empire is built on oligopolies that control all markets that will destroy the planet and have specifically destroyed the US train system" a valid answer?

       @Anarcat It's more "Why is there no good way to get from a large city to the nation's capital when it's only 200 miles away"

       @mjg59 yeah, second answer then: there *is* a good way, and it's get a car or hitch a ride hippie. ;)

       @mjg59 i agree it's frigging ridiculous, it keeps blowing my mind how bad trains are in the US... there's no universe in which it's actually expensive in any meaningful way to build a working train there, except one where "expensive" only counts "car and gas companies"

       @mjg59 I've driven it and flown it (DCA-PIT) a few times, I didn't know there was a train!
