The worst person you know is talking about how trains are awesome and we need subsidized health care.

Fun new eslint failure mode: crashing because an errant stylistic rule generated hundreds of thousands of errors and it exceeded maximum node string size when trying to print the output. I love this ecosystem.

Well, if there's a gotta be a catastrophic civil war at least we can rebuild our cities around proper rail transportation and more efficient housing.
