The train news at The Points Guy continues to amuse me

The Points Guy’s website—luxury flying high in the sky with credit card points—just posted another article on…

Trains!

Lol.

Would you like a free glass of champagne in your superbly comfortable train seat, M’lord?

Actually, I would.

Note the ever-present subtly hidden half of the screen taken up with links trying to get you hooked on credit cards.

Not to mention the sniff a whiff of desperation with the poll they’re running on the state of travel. If they offered me a complimentary plate of truffle pasta, a crème brulée for desert followed by a smooth digestif for answering it, I’d be all in. I thought that was how it was supposed to work in the world of laps of luxury?

My bad.

Here’s the second question in their poll:

The Points Guy survey question.

Never, you satan worshippers, never!

The next question was, “When will you feel comfortable with how much CO2 gets pumped into the atmosphere just so you can hop into a flying cigar death trap?”

The possible answers were:

  • a) I am awesome

  • b) I like puppies

  • c) I am more awesome than awesome

  • c) My grandchildren are dicks, who cares about the future of humanity.

I swear to god that was the third question.

I also assure you I’m still president. True story. Cross my heart and hope to die.
