This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm not sure about other countries but one thing Amtrak has over planes is that they're more disability accessible. Still making improvements on legacy equipment but they're under the ADA, whereas airlines lobbied themselves out of it, which is why they never bothered to create wheelchair spaces or accessible bathrooms or even seats a normal human can occupy comfortably.

tbf if airlines had to serve people they could not be profitable

Ha!

I would, and look them in the eyes the whole time while smiling.
