As a US Senator, Biden rode the train from Delaware to Washington DC - riding to work for decades.  He said that the conductors calculated it as 8,200 round trips, over 2 million miles on Amtrak. Two hundred and fifty nine miles round trip a day, not every day, but on average 217 days a year.
(quoting an article from January 2017):

Biden was friendly with all the workers on the trains.  He is pro-labor. How could anyone think he would be unsympathetic to railroad workers?

I guess what is unfathomable to me (besides the totally inhumane treatment that these people endured) is - Were they on a commercial airlines? Did a government official fly with them?  How long was this plan in place?

The particulars of this story seem to be missing in most press reports that I've read today

I'm more amused by the toad stating: "You're BLOCKING a member of Congress!" Marjorie Taylor Greene intentionally (and clearly) stepped on the back of the heels of the activist's shoes.

          Thank you. I didn't realize there was confusion. You cleared it up.  It is more than crazy that this whole conversation is off-topic.
    • Sure!  And we promise, Mr Corday -- we will ridicule those wonderful old episodes daily on social media.   NOT!   
    • "To give her child a name" just means to make the child legitimate and be able to take the father's surname.  
    • I would say, Denise was the ONLY good thing about that insultingly ridiculous plot.  But all this took place near the end of Another World's "let's play everything for laughs" era.  Thank God that nonsense ended around 1988.  
    • We could take an OATH: We swear we will hate these episodes!  
    • Will I miss anything pertinent fast forwarding? I love that Kristina is so aghast someone could think she’s crazy after she just tried to kill someone. She’s basically saying my mom doesn’t know the full extent of my crazy, how dare she! It’s laughable. I genuinely don’t know what the show wants us to think of Kristina at this point,  
    • Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".    Thank you for sharing that information.  I barely remember that plot, but it was so significant in DOOL's history.  Ramifications went on for years and years.  
    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...
