    If it comes to that, I hope whoever follows in Sherman’s footsteps is not so merciful, kind and lenient. It’ll be awful but well-deserved.

    But what about the in-state liberals? Surely you must represent them as well as any other of your constituents, yes?

    Should we use torches again or switch to some kind of napalm? Also Sherman focused a lot on the Rail Roads, but should we maybe switch that to highways?

      This is interesting to me. highways are important. But railroads? Holy shit modern rail moves a fuck ton of weight.

      The comparison is not apples to apples because highways offer dynamic response that railways cannot. The trucks and trailers need diesel and a driver, and then they can go anywhere without the enemy truly knowing the route, but the trade off is the volume of stuff they can move is greatly reduced.

      Modern freight trains can move thoroughly ridiculous amounts of supplies at one time. The trade off is slow speeds and predictable routing.

      Tbh…I think railroads are still the most important. If you only have 1 strike, railroads are the answer because you reduce logistical capacity the most there.

        And this is why, despite his pro-union claims, Biden bent the knee to “The Economy” when that train strike was upon us: it would wreck this country.

        Still shoulda fucking happened, though.

          I was so fucking pissed about that.

          Same thing happened with the air traffic controller strike in the 80s. Threatening someone not going to work with jail time…that’s fucking batshit

      Depends on how much fiber you like in your diet.
