I just finished reading two articles in the Wall Street Journal. The first described the hugh amount of excess capacity in the economy, including manufacturing and transportation, even mentioning Union Pacific's excess freight carrying capacity.
Do these guys really know what they are talking about? Remember, UP has been spending multi-millions to increase capacity, particularly between Los Angeles and El Paso, but not only there. About the only places where I can think of significant excesses in capacity existing would be in the very lightly populated states that have good systems of two lane highways. Otherwise, for the most part our transportation system needs a lot of work.
As far as Family Guy is concerned, the only way I would watch that show is
tied to a chair with my eyes glued open.
