Minneapolis-Chicago is still an ideal distance for high-speed rail to take the load off highways and airlines.

/facepalm

Although there are privately run train systems (hell, the Shinkansen!), on the whole they’re government-run by default worldwide. Hell, even the airlines in the US get subsidies. Really, by that logic, many American airplanes or mostly any train anywhere is a tool of communist oppression. That’s an insane way to look…

Soviets championing their vision for everything communal and shared is not the same as Japan, France, UK, Germany, etc. using comfy-ass trains to move people between metro areas at speeds of 186-217 miles per hour and lightening loads on airlines and highways. Yours is a new flavor of bullshit, but a bullshit answer…

Except Portland-Vancouver(Canada, whatever), California, Florida, Chicago/MidWest, and Texas triangle, which are perfect for high-speed rail. Seriously. Come on.

Oh look, another shitty street circuit for IndyCar. Sigh.

Here come the “BUT MERICUH IS DIFFERENT” posts that will vomit out the same tired (bullshit) reasons for why trains are communist/gay/Anti-American.

That looks like a damn 2016 Corolla in the front.

No, but he’s no more an egotistical douche than the guy whose feelings would be hurt if his corpse would be moved off SS and batting 2nd in his final years. A-Rod’s a dork and a moron, but no more than the average athlete. Fans who single him out despite a league-wide steroid epidemic during Bud Selig’s tenure are…

A-Rod moved to 3B to accommodate Jeter, who was a several orders of magnitudes worse at shortstop. Very egotistical of him. Baseball fans are the worst.

You’re a pretty shitty Yankees fan if you hate A-Rod.

Baseball fans can be such massive, sad losers. I hope A-Rod hits 50 dingers this year.

The Voyager! That actually seems useful as hell.

These are the kind of drivers the local news, community boards and local politicians here in NYC present as victims and rightful owners of the streets. I’m hoping over in the pacific northwest attitudes are different.

Part of the problem is that Americans are generally morons. Seems plenty have been convinced that being stuck in traffic for six hours or stuck in an airplane is freedom but electrified high-speed trains are communism (due to not running entirely on oil). There’s also the usual “DURR LA to NYC HIGH-SPEED RAIL WOULD…

Hat’s off to Marvel’s marketing department.

Incidentally, the batshit crazy (and the criminally stupid) are the ones who end up driving in New York.

I have no joke. That’s just a terrific bat flip.

Says a lot about Ferrari that their exclusive only-for-true-Ferrari-lovers car is being allowed to be driven by this piece of shit.

SHIT. Beat me to it. +1
