People really need to look up shit before they try to induce panic

Amtrak is a Federally owned for profit company and the Federal Government owns Union Station. Just who has he taken this from?

Causing panic is not confined to one particular political standpoint.

@FreddieUK Fair, and while I can see how this could be troubling or problematic, it's just the Federal Government removing a contractor and installing another Federal department to manage it. Now, could he install the National Guard, ICE, the military to manage it? Sure. That would be bad. That signals a lot of really horrible connotations when you think back to how trains have been used for bad in the past.

But currently, it's just removing a contractor. Should we be wary? Absolutely! Should we panic. Maybe not so much.

@FoxyQueen I try to be fair and accurate when attacking views I don't approve of because one of the weapons that is used in this country at the moment is to catastrophise everything, inducing panic and division. If the side that I support decides to use a similar tactic, then I have to call it out. There's enough genuine stuff to be extremely concerned about without making extra stuff up as you rightly point out in your comment above.

@FreddieUK Exactly. The world is currently a horrible place. Let's look at things that we can reduce the fire on and take it off our plates. This is a "watch", not a "warning" lol
