also, i like going into the mountains when weather permits. there is no easy way to get there without a car.

yeah a usual trip i would end doing in car would be ~600 miles round trip.

in comparison bus tickets for the two of us would cost in neighborhood of $200 round trip with very long travel time. airline tickets would be like $300 if you were ok with multiple connections each way more with nonstop. train tickets could be as low as $320 if you et lucky with open coach seats but more typically like $480. and all of those would require someone to come pick us up/drop us off by car anyway in at least one direction.

i'll actually be traveling down there by myself by train for christmas, its going to be $300 total but that's cheaper than renting a car instead for the time, and way more pleasant than dealing with christmas time airports (and those flights aint cheap, right now they're looking like $500-$750). and there's no way taking the bus would make the connection in nyc on time either.

supply is routinely provided in the bills authorizing the spending in the first place, friend.

the only reason we have these crisis things is cuz some dickhead congressmaen decided to start having pissfights on raising debt limits in the 80s to have another thing to campaign on, that used to get raised just as needed

cinci zoo sniper posted:

jfc the prices

it's a short flight distance so most of the flights are angled towards the business traveler who doesn't have to worry about cost, and then you have christmas time rush on top of things. and as for the rail prices, they're still a lot less than the old private carriers used to charge when you adjust for inflation (and once again, the rail service is primarily angled towards business travelers who take up most of the capacity, at least for this route, unlike the others that are more angled towards tourism).
