Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I needed to go to LA last year from Sacramento

I could take:

  • Amtrak: 8/9 hours for $150 per person, uncomfortable and a slave to the freight network (I've ridden Amtrak many times in my life)

  • Drive a rental: 120 for the rental for the day + gas, but a 6 hour drive

  • Drive my EV: Just the 20 or so bucks for fast charging a few times, maybe an 8 hour total trip

  • Fly: 80 bucks per person round trip, sub 2 hours flight, 30 minutes pre flight, Uber to where I'm going for 10 bucks cuz its not far from LAX

I REALLY wanted to take the train but my god

You're not expected to solve systemic issues on an individual level.

Please do make sure to vote for someone to build trains, of course.
