Re: Travel Apprehensions, Anyone?

Until Amtrak lifts their mask mandate I won’t be traveling with them. I’m not going to risk passing out or suffocating from wearing one or TWO (🙄) pieces of fabric for 2+ hours that provide just about zero protection for/from me or anyone else. Is this a thing? I haven't heard of anyone passing out...

If only this site also covered air travel one could wonder at the costs in dollars, manpower, and delays, the use of AF1 entails when used for campaigning.

But this site does not do that, so one cannot state that wonder.
