The last administration ranged from ignoring them, to stern finger waving at Israel.
It can (and likely will) get so much worse.

Personally, I just don't ask questions I don't want the answer to.
I'm tired of responding to this stupid sentiment. Have fun on your moral high ground as the world burns around you.
Isn't this just USPS? Or are they blocking DHL, FedEx, etc as well?
So they are cheaping out, doing the least amount possible while still being able to say they "did something". This is not what people are usually talking about when they advocate for trains as a public transit solution, but unfortunately, it's what we tend to get.
Gotta keep that military industry going somehow. Papa Putin said he's not allowed to help Ukraine anymore.
Nobody is gleeful, as far as I've seen. Yeah everyone who told people that this is what was going to happen gets to say "I told you so" but they aren't happy, they're just pissed off in multiple directions now.
Light rail is just that: it's still trains, but they are orders of magnitude lighter, since all you are moving are people. After some quick Googling, freight trains can be a mile long and weigh 20,000 tons, while a light rail train may only consist of 5 cars, totalling somewhere around 200 tons. The track you need to support freight trains is very much overkill for public transit.
Now there are heavier public transit trains that are designed to run on existing freight rail lines, but when people talk about trains for public transit, it's usually light rail that they are thinking of. Unless they are talking about high speed trains, which also require their own dedicated tracks.
For light rail, they usually don't bother trying to go up and down for every crossing, they just elevate the whole thing. Easier to move people up and down at the stations.
Well, we can at least probably rule out nukes; Trump's rich friends/handlers can't really do anything with irradiated land.
