"The train people are like the library people."
Thanks for calling us good and correct.
These are the same people telling everyone carbon taxes will solve climate change
Hm, you say you want our train infrastructure to be better. Have you considered: our train infrastructure is currently not very good :very-smart:
"The trains are garbage! What do you mean we have miles of tracks everywhere that are neglected due to years of cutting transportation budgets? Why can't we just invest in hyperloop instead?!"
I just keep thinking about how China has a maglev train that covers the approximate distance from New York to Chicago in 4 hours
I used to take the Amtrak line from Chicago to Syracuse and it took sometimes as long as 15 hours because Amtrak doesn’t own the tracks lol.
These nerds aren’t taking into account that services such as the USPS and Amtrak aren’t given the full amount of support they need to function efficiently.
American liberals rely on the belief that institutions can be reformed and improved with “better governance”. This totally ignores that Capital will seek new markets in areas it doesn’t operate. Which is why these public services are slowly being eroded away. USPS’s death would pave the way for a whole new market for mail and commerce.
That's high-speed rail with a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). The only fast maglev that China has in service is the maglev to Pudong Airport in Shanghai. It's only 18 miles long.
They probably meant high-speed rail not maglev, easy mistake for a train noob.
"USPS fanbois" you mean people who like actually receiving their mail? AKA literally everyone?
The idea of a high school where kids are getting shoved in lockers for not liking the library is so funny to me.
I pay out the ass every year specifically to take a long train ride instead of flying because it's fucking lit.
Long train ride gang rise up ✊
Legit my favorite method of travel. Especially if you have a traveling companion, it can't be beat.
i did the cross country train thing, and it's much better than doing the cross country plane thing. just needs to be faster, which would be possible if we didn't have dumb ass fuckers like these talkin' shit about em.
These people are delusional if they think being stuck in traffic or being in a cramped plane is better than being on a train.
If you just climb into your personal helicopter though, it's so much more - OH GOD KOBE THE MOUNTAINSIDE LOOK OUT!!!
Brb flying all of my coal and lumber out for efficiency reasons.
wall, wall, and *check clipboard* yeah you get the wall too
