In attempts to clarify that a little more, we found out we should not compliment a woman on her appearance or perfume, and that statements like "I like your earrings" were very dangerous.
Great. Now you'll have people from the transgender community suing your for your sexual harassment program.
The gap would have been much smaller in 1992, when the fuel in the Metro didn't contain 10% ethanol. My 2004 Olds doesn't hit its EPA rated MPG even on highway trips with little traffic and no stops now-- the engine runs perfectly but gets 1-2 MPG fewer.
I don't know whether the new EPA rating methods take this into account. Note that for the Metro, there's a link for "view original EPA MPG". it says 47, although I do believe there was a model year when it was rated for 49.
As far as Amtrak losing money on food service, despite it becoming a right-wing meme that this true, it's dubious at best.
It's not a truthiness issue-- they really do lose money on food service. You contradicted yourself later in your own post! I understand that food service may have long been a "loss leader" in the industry, but the fact is THEY LOSE MONEY ON FOOD SERVICE.
The science is undebatable.
And that's a political statement.
Frankly, this is an incredibly misogynist move.
It says, "we can't create any strong female superheroes, so we'll just change the sex of one." It's really just like Supergirl or Batgirl, which were pretty much wannabes of the "real" superheroes, as opposed to female Green Lanterns or even a female Robin where it's more about the values and principles of the uniform. For example, a female Iron (wo)Man would make far more sense (alternate universes aside).
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
