Fuck Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. You can't compete with the efficiency of air travel. What she wants to kill an entire industry and lay off a shit ton of pilots, air traffic controlers and other airline workers? News flash you dumb ass, electric trains get their energy from a coal burning plant down the street. And how do you expect to get to fucking europe on this green deal idiot? People don't want to sit in a train for 12 hours when they can fly there in 3. The aviation industry is constantly working to be more efficient and cleaner for the environment. It would take a lot less people to coordinate a national train system, meaning you're literally killing jobs and not replacing them. So how is this a good plan for the future? I think the environment is very important but so are jobs and efficient, logical travel means.
