right along with Tesla and Space X but this country would rather spend $ building bombs and fighters with the damn tech. How the fukk is Elon sending rockets to space every other month but we don’t even have trains that can go 150MPH

Exactly, it's mind blowing
Cause we trash.
I hope to God Biden gets off that social bs and gets back to the business of fixing this country.
Obama was supposed to fix our infrastructure but was too busy worrying about drinking beers with dirty cacs.

If you want to know the answer, just follow the Houston-Dallas line drama that's going on. I know it's fun to say the US is behind on tech it something, but this is 100% a land rights issue. Lots of those types will damn sure own mineral rights and even air rights in many cases.

knowing americas cheap ass nature if we got a monorail/or high speed rail system it be the same one from that simpsons episode thats was done half assed 
trash part about it is unless something drastically changed in the next 10 years we won’t see shyt. Someone would have buy our Amtrak and just re-do their whole infrastructure. And that won’t happen. The freight industry would lose their mind and CSX ain’t budging.
so what’s the alternative? The amount of $ it would take to buy up new land from let’s say Boston to DC would be ridiculous. And the government won’t help. So on a state level you’d have to convince these governors to use eminent domain and promise tons of jobs.

Pretty much anything where oil is not used. America’s public transit is shyt. High speed rail downs stand a chance.

When my wife and I were dating, we would take Amtrak back and forth between NC and Alexandria. shyt would take 4 hours and may be delayed due to them using CSX's tracks. I remember them mufukkas saying a train slated to leave at 730 was delayed until 2PM 
The potential of getting to a destination over 200 miles away in an hour would be a blessing, especially if you don't live near an airport. I suspect there's some
going on though bc the possibility of folks living in rural areas but able to work in urban areas? Might throw off them voting numbers lol

This shyt goes all the way back to ford. He purposely sabotaged public transportation and went to war against it across the country in order to sell cars/create a car culture in America. You can't do shyt in this country for the general public without someone calling you a communist, anti-american or softie who hates money. In large part because a bunch of insanely rich motherfukkers in the late 18th/early 19th century decided to sow all of it up behind them for security.

whats Wild is the
shyt with rail has been going on since forever. Take Amtrak along the north east and all of the tracks just happen to go thru poor areas with some very small exceptions. And when it does go thru and affluent city center, the tracks are underground or tucked away along part of the coastline where you can’t build shyt.CSX has rail in a headlock and only a buyout or the govt Debo-ing them is going to change things. shyt is shameful when you have something like the Shinkansen in Japan with ZERO casualties in like 50+ years and we can barely get a train set to go 70MPH max speed.
