Having a list of rules is contrary to some interpretations of anarchy

No you’re right, they do have jurisdiction within 100 miles of a US border. But I thought they’d be doing more stuff like checkpoints (similar to what they do down South) rather than operations like assisting an ICE raid. It’s totally possible it’s a multi-agency operation, I honestly have no clue how that works!

Isn’t it that they have immigration jurisdiction within 100 miles of a point of entry? I think they’re active near every international airport. I could be totally wrong though.

Not a single poster of Bakunin in the whole facility 😡😡😡

Do tell.

I went there, saw the list of rules, called them a bunch of frauds and stormed out

Would CBP be there for an ICE raid though?

Border Patrol can do stops within X miles (I think it's 100 miles) of a border or international point of entry, which includes the Port of Baltimore, and probably BWI, too.

It's not just local. It's everywhere.

In the past, I've just signed up for Triple A, or renewed it, and then said, "Oh, btw, can you also send me a tow truck?" Because you get 1 free tow a year, for like the $50 Triple A yearly fee, that you can then cancel.

Not sure if it still works this way 10+ year old numbers), but it was a pretty solid deal whenever I used it.

People care A LOT more about sports when they’ve got money on games and sports coverage is a major traffic driver for local news/news in general (Murdoch for example built his empire on soccer coverage).

They want more eyes and people having increased interest in sports will give it to them.

Not sure which part of 40 you’re seeing this, but many of those businesses near the Balt/Harford line employ a lot of manual labor. Construction, roofers, warehouses, etc. Also lots of little immigrant communities out there. An ICE raid wouldn’t be out of the question, even though that’s something you usually hear about at the big factories in the South and Midwest.

Another possibility - MSP and BaltCo police run regular checkpoints on truckers along that stretch of 40, stopping lots of dump trucks and small haulers. If they caught wind of some shenanigans from the port, or found a flagged immigrant in a stop, that might be Border Patrol territory.

Ad money, plus the fact that there genuinely are a lot of sports fans who have been eagerly awaiting this so it is a legitimately pretty big story.

Thats more a gamble with your digestive system

The point is it’s another option. A transit improvement that many people will use because it provides access.

The used to be some government building down by Lexington market and they were always throwing out office supplies (printers, projectors, etc). In my more destitute days I used to dumpster there and flip stuff on ebay, probably made about $1000 off that dumpster

I traced a DC to Boston route, going MARC-SEPTA-NJ Transit-Metro North-Shore Line East-MBTA. The entire route along the NEC, all stops, using current schedules and doing some logical extensions... was nearly 16 hours, and no cafe. Oh, and transfers at Newark/Wilmington, Philadelphia, Trenton, Penn Station/Grand Central (Yes, you gotta take two subway lines between the two), New Haven, and Providence.

Compare with the Amtrak Regional which was 8 hours with a cafe. Set aside the expensive Acela.

Cheap? Sure, I'll give you that. But you got multiple transfers, one requiring a "complicated" path because of how the two train stations are. Your timing's going to be tight, and you may be able to grab lunch somewhere, but you're be ready for dinner at Boston South Station and you've spent all day.

Lets throw in airlines, Dec 4 for example. Southwest, BWI to Boston Logan. 1.5 hours flight time, 2 hours buffer at BWI, 30 min to get whatever luggage (remember, 2 bags fly free). That's 4 hours... for $50 flat one way. Amtrak? $132, 8 hours, one way... but then you miss getting scanned, frisked, and repeated sniffed in the butt by a TSA K-9 unit. (I won't go into sarcastic details there)

The point here is there's an overall quality of service. Sure, you'll get there with end-to-end commuter rail. But if your timing sucks... it'll be a hell ride.

I’m glad you got help — on a random note — there is an actual tow person convention happening at the city convention center right now. Ha. I passed by last night and noticed the shiny new tow trucks parked outside and thought that was sort of funny. A convention. For the tow people. Amazing.

Kirchmeyer Chocolatier recently opened back up. New location on York Road. Not the dine in experience you may be looking for. Amazing chocolates and truffles.

It would be about an hour slower. But $50* cheaper. And another option. Especially to get to Philly, Nyc and Boston
