I don't know what to say; your audited under GAAP deficit is now under $1B, your funding is at all time high of $1.9B, and you have a CEO who came from an outfit that provides, efficient passenger transportation.

Think you'd be taking a victory lap.

But to judge from material posted to passenger, particularly "experiential passenger, advocacy sites, you are in the worst shape you've been in your 48 years around these parts.

My 48 "spankings" will be to hope you identify where rail passenger service cannprpvide an economic benefit - and move away from those areas where it cannot.

But otherwise, Happy Birthday.
