There's a terrible washout on the north end of the village. Rails are still there but swinging. Railbike operation starts at the next highway crossing where the rails were removed.

The Catharine Valley Trail is the PRR from Horseheads to Watkins Glen. The Station in Watkins Glen is still a fairly authentic railroad station, not much added on. Montour Falls station is a chiro office. Horseheads station is a museum.

Penn Yan is fun. Rather a lot of tracks still, even though it's the now the terminus. Just north of there is a railbike operation. Pretty scenery it runs through, more than a green tunnel.

Generally speaking, economics requires a base of understanding without which you cannot understand things like "The minimum wage is racist" which requires that base plus another thousand characters to explicate.

It's not "skewed". All projections from a globe onto a flat surface introduce one distortion or another in order to make the map useful. The Mercator's use is not to show the comparative size of landmasses. In the case of Mercator, the distortion is _________________ (you fill it in).

Mmmmm, pretty sure not. I'm pretty sure, though, that bsky has a bad infestation of leftists. The new head of Trust & Safety will probably have something to say about that. Because ain't nobody want a leftist echo chamber.

I can't make you believe facts. I can only cite them. True belief will only come after you have discarded childish ideas.

Working people who attempt to be self-sufficient still have to pay property taxes. If your goal is working self-sufficiency, you would be against taxes. But I'll Bet That You Are Not.

I used to be a socialist. I grew up. It's amazing what Actually Learning How The World Works will do to the socialist mind. Or to socialist mimes.
