America's national priorities are: 1. selling machines of war 2. protecting the ultra-wealthy The end.

The sheer folly of this proposal, as with many others, such as single payer medical insurance is that it is absurd to compare the USA with other smaller countries. We are #3 in land mass, and #3 in population in the world. These things cannot scale up!! It’s total folly!

Then how do you explain China? Same landmass, 4 x more people, amazing high speed rail, and universal healthcare. Somebody has been feeding you bunk.

If Americans actually travelled and saw the great train systems in Japan and Europe they’d want high speed rail here too. America needs it

American Capitalism was primarily designed to make profits not to respond to people’s needs. Am I wrong?

So do I. Sadly the bigger question is who is against it? That will tell you why it won’t happen.

One of the criticisms I always here about high speed rail in N.A. Is that there is too much land to cover between major cities. But there is so much potential to revidilize small cities and towns and to take pressure off the major urban sprawl of larger cities.

Given the size of the U.S. and the need to provide high-speed transport that is competitive with air travel in terms of price and time, we advise the use of modern #Maglev systems (#Transrapid or #SCM) rather than HSR. #HSR is too slow, prone to wear and expensive to operate.
