Yeah, I was joking. That said: Amtrak board meeting: Bigshot: Anyone have any ideas on how we can become solvent once again Insom: What if we give select poets the ability to ride for free and write about it? Bigshot: Finally, someone around here is thinking. I think it's a cool idea and will cost next to nothing in the grand scheme of things but to say it is "financially brilliant" is a bit of a stretch, don't ya think? My reason for posting the sarcastic link in my OP was just to point out that Amtrak is/has been hemorrhaging money for years. Since they're so heavily subsidized, they might as well be giving free rides to artists. But to suggest that this is somehow the best way to create awareness in the market that Amtrak is a good option is kinda silly, don't you think?I would argue that the value in offering a program like this is financially brilliant
-hmmm, brilliant? Really?
