Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said at a press conference Wednesday that “high-volume” airports will begin to see traffic cuts on Friday, with air traffic declining by 10 percent by next week.

Unlike the targeting of blue-state infrastructure projects, there’s no feasible way for the government to own the libs via the manipulation of airport traffic. Democrats and Republicans both take commercial flights . . …
I’m supposed to have a flight next week. It was already right on the bubble of whether I should fly or just drive. I’m not going to stand in some long ass line and get berated by unpaid TSA officers and then risk my life with unpaid air traffic controllers.
Maybe I’ll make a trip of it and even go see some friends 2 hours away from the destination.
Man, I really wish this country had trains.
I looked at the public transit option to go somewhere 2.5 hrs by car from where I live. A big-ish city (relatively speaking).
No train goes between points (or to that city at all for that matter), and the bus would take ELEVEN HOURS!!! Fucking what??
I’d love to use public transit, but I’m not willing to take 4x as long, and 11 hours… I could probably walk there in that time…
2.5 hours, so roughly 200km? Bikeable, if there are navigable roads and you have the health for it. Yuck at the bus option being so bad.
Lmao. This guy. ‘Bikeable’
