As reported in today's press, the rail drivers' 15% wage rise means they don't want overtime work.

Trains are now less reliable than ever, due to driver shortages and...more industrial disputes.

The nation is now waiting on platforms everywhere...

Looking for help from you all!
I need a bag/backpack/case for breaks of about 5 days. Plenty of room etc . Ones I have seem to small or too big!
What do you all use for your breaks? Any favourites? Makes?

The U.S. Postal Service created a stamp featuring President Trump’s photo. However, the new stamp wouldn’t stick to envelopes.
This fact angered the president, who demanded a thorough investigation.
After weeks of testing and $1.7 million spent by Congress, a special presidential committee presented the following findings:
The stamp is in perfect condition.
There is nothing wrong with the adhesive.
People are spitting on the wrong side 😂

Hillbilly Moms Letter
Dear Son, I'm writing this slow 'cause I know you can't read fast.
We don't live where we did when you left.
Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved.
Won't be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn't have to change their address.
This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen 'em since.
It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time.
The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn't make the final payment on Grandma's funeral bill, up she comes.
About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether if it is a boy or girls so dont know if you are an Aunt or Uncle???
Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned.
We cremated him and he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup.
One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safety.
The other 2 drowned. They couldn't get the tailgate down.
Not much more news this time.
Nothing much happened. If you don't get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.
Love, Mom

I just wanted to say something without answering the PMs I get.
Thank you, but I really don't want or need people to send me screenshots of instances where people I've chosen to block are taking a pop at me/ talking about me/being sarky about posts I make.
I've blocked them for a reason, the reason being I haven't got time for their nastiness or bitchyness.It therefore doesn't matter to me that they continue to spout crap about me. I will not be replying or responding to any PMs .Thank you and happy Saturday 🫠

US President Donald Trump referred to himself as a king in a social media post on Wednesday, declaring, “LONG LIVE THE KING!” while announcing the cancellation of congestion pricing in New York.

“CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!” he said on Truth Social.

Moreover, the official White House X account shared Trump's post, featuring an image of him wearing a crown and a US flag pin on his collar.

"Many in professional Washington and the media were shocked this week when the president of the United States began parroting Kremlin talking points and castigating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “dictator.”

But to understand this origin story, you only have to look at the events of the summer of 2019 and the circumstances leading to the first impeachment of Donald Trump.

“He never recovered from the consequences of the ‘perfect’ phone call,” John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, told The Dispatch.

That would be Trump’s July 25, 2019, phone call with Zelensky, just two months after Zelensky came into office. During that call, Trump pressed Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, all while Trump’s administration had placed a hold on congressionally mandated military aid to Ukraine.

This call followed weeks of pressure from Trump allies both privately and publicly trying to get the Ukrainian government to announce an investigation into the Bidens or other Democrats like Hillary Clinton.

The military aid to Ukraine was lifted only after a whistleblower had made a complaint about the July 25 phone call, the news of which started the process that would lead to the House impeaching Trump for abusing power and obstructing Congress.

Trump never let go of his grievance against Zelensky and Ukraine, even holding on to the idea (later deemed the product of Russian-backed propaganda) that the Ukrainian government had interfered in the 2016 election against Trump’s campaign.

This is Trump's personal revenge, pure and simple.
