Blocking an end-to-end merger really isn't it. Part of why we're stuck in this doom loop is that DC electeds just want to harp on their pet issues instead of doing actually smart policy stuff. There's plenty of actual problems for Liz Warren to go after in the railroad industry!

Discovery by NOAA researchers of the 1894 wreck of the schooner barge IRONTON in Lake Huron has revealed one of the most intact shipwrecks ever found. All 3 of the 190-foot vessel's masts are still up, anchor stowed, ship's boat still tied to the stern https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/mar23/ironton-discovery.html

A good way to think about the LIRR service complaints beyond load imbalances is this. The new schedules
-add some svc
-rationalize stopping patterns
but, bc there's now
-2 major western terminals vs 1 major/1 minor
-no timed xfers
the 'effective' frequency of svc seems lower

these seem like relevant maps, from the 2020 democratic primary. my instinct is that black s/w side voters are a somewhat harder sell on a generally progressive platform* but less so on a specifically l&o one. which would make the runoff complex

California went from permitting 2,100 ADUs in 2016 to 21,000 in 2021 due to a series of state policy reforms, per @TernerHousing

When we look back at various Biden-era vaguely infrastructure-related legislation it's going to be eminently clear that NEPA and other consultants were far and away the biggest beneficiaries.
