Mr. Blog's Tepid Ride

August 17, 2011

Well there is nothing Imponderable about this. It isn’t even remarkable. We are talking about the government. There are so many bureaucratic middle men and useless departments and commissioners and commissars and bloated political hacks and just plain stupidity that it would be Imponderable if it actually was run well and made money.

So if I find nothing Imponderable about it and it isn’t even remarkable (though it still angers me that the gov’t wastes my money like this) why did I post it this week?

Because it says that Amtrak lost $800M on cheeseburgers and soda.

Regular readers, know where I am going with this?

Yes you do.

Was this guy their best passenger?
