Have you ever worked for ANY large company? There is always waste.

Hahaha Gubmint.
The Brits invented Tikka Masala they can take the heat boyo, some people just like mild food.
It's hilarious you think you contributed something to the conversation with that stupid stupid quote. Not defending them crushing that car. Just that is the stupidest thing I have heard today.
I'm just saying that is a feeble feeble quote. The government does many important things and while the quote is superficially attractive it adds nothing to the debate either.
Dumb American always overstated the level of Chinese currency manipulation. Good to see you keep up that proud tradition.
Reagan was a fucking tool with that quote.
Yeah thats not high speed. LOL at America.
This conversation is specifically about how Amtrack doesn't have any high speed rail between NY, Boston, Philly, Baltimore etc. How do you even get this confused? Yes there is rails between these cities that isn't a surprise. There is no HSR which is the entire point of the conversation.
Who said one size fits all? I'm saying it would be excellent to have a few high speed lines connecting some of close major cities on the coasts together.
Because the population is low in Boston, New York ?
Long distances and low population densities is a silly argument. You need big cities within a few hundred miles of each other which you have on the east and west coast. Nobody ever said are a one-size-fits-all solution! Did I say that anywhere? No. Are there a number of places in the US were it would be very…
More reluctant then ? There are huge numbers of Americans who are into hiking, climbing, paddling etc. You are the biggest market in the world. But doing these things seems to me to be a hobby or a thing to do. It is organised and planned which is great and very American.
Nobody recommends transcontinental HSR you idiot.
About the same or cheaper. They are cheaper if you book ahead of time of course but you can just turn up the station either and not spend too much.
Well that certainly is no longer the case. The US commercial air fleet is much older than European average. US roads are definitely of lower quality than German or French or Swiss roads.
Could I point out you have zero experience of working rail system and you work as pilot? Hardly unbiased? The fact is rail is an important mode of transport for many people. The US is just very far behind the rest of the world.
Right fine NIMBY's. This is why America has fallen behind. No ambition anymore. Every other country faces this and managed to do it. American real estate is no more expensive than other developed countries.
Western Europe has just as good if not better roads than the USA, we also have substantially cheaper airfares and better integrated airports. These are facts. We have high speed rail because it works.
The US can't build large infrastructure projects on time or budget. You have gutted the government bodies too much. I could show you the figures if you want.
