Very sad to hear, gone far too soon. His performance in friends was outstanding and I always found watching friends a comfort through my teenage years.

Sorry. Not sorry.

Wonder if I got arrested in similar circumstances, if POTUS would get me freed?
Probably not; I’m in the wrong demographics.
Any union member who supports Democrats after what Joke Biden did to the rail unions is a goddamned hypocrite. He’s coming for your unions next.
An extremely disgruntled railroad worker.
As a railroad employee, I hope the strike happens. The work rules and other bull…stuff has to change.

Jump to postSo…I work for a railroad.

Rail would be very difficult to getting to Alaska. Let’s forget the terrain and borders. You’d have trains traversing long stretches of nothing, and locomotive engineers and conductors do have a maximum number of hours they can work. It’s not like there are a lot of options for places to swap crews ...
