As someone who actually likes Lo-fi as background music to work to this playlist fails on two counts:

I was ranty when he was appointed as a clear patronage hire, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The department has shown a much better focus on racial equity, rail, and repairs than I ever hoped for. It is still early , but I’ll take obsessive social media posting if it moves the needle on better transportation policy.
