I've not been a member of Amtrak Unlimited very long but have enjoyed reading many of the posts covering the vast number of subjects discussed. Quite an education.
Since Amtrak is a Private Corporation, albeit wholly owned by the US Government (of which makes each of us an owner, if only by default)...............yet 100% of the Stock for Amtrak is held by the US Government................
Why not take Amtrak public??? ............or make Amtrak an "Employee Owned Company"??? Or a combination of both?
Employee-owned could solve numerious "attitude" problems of "Toxic Amtrak Employees", perhaps instill a "Pride of Ownership" and sense of investment, and public stock would raise $$$ for much needed improvements.......and Stockholder Ownership would take it all out of the hands of Congressional meddling..................????
Just wishing America had a passenger rail system that worked and worked well and wasn't a system that is an embarrassment to the American Nation as a whole.
In all reality, if any Nation could afford to "do it right", it's the USA.
