It's sad but the us could have been a rail giant like Japan china or some European countries but now America is kind of declining Notice how no other country in the western world has this many issues when building rail
>>218776345trains are communism or however the pickup truck is refueled
>>218776345Isn't there a line to Las Vegas?
>>218776345Florida has the one but I heard nobody likes it anyways. Seems like we already picked cars, take it up with Eisenhower
NEC though.
>>218776345>Notice how no other country in the western world has this many issues when building railhahahahahhahaha
>>218776401It's not even hsr and it's well used it's just that america is designed for money extraction not living this is why most Americans who been outside of the country never wanna come back
>dude what if instead of spending $150 to take a 1.5hr flight to SF you could spend $100 to take a three hour train ride instead??? WOULDN'T THAT BE SO COOL AND EUROPEAN? WE SHOULD SPEND $150B ON THIS!
>>218776481Scotrail just works
>>218776345well there's really no excuse not to have high speed rail from dc to boston at least
>>218776493This. I'm of this niggerish consoomer culture.
>>218776401Florida having it (because they massively cut corners, most of which proved to be unnecessary) whereas California is completely mired in shit because lefties demanded that everything be perfect and righties are able to use environmental and land use laws to fuck them in the court system is a perfect encapsulation of everything wrong with Commiefornia.
>>218776516>How dare you want efficient travel!!!!!>I need my pick up truck that's the size of a WW2 tank!!!!!>Even though I work on a office and never do anything that involves hauling!!!!>Also I need to have my drive througg because walking is hard for me>Btw I have tits like a woman
>>218776516>1.5hr flight>need to arrive at the airport at least 1.5hrs before>get anally probed by TSA in the meantime>have to play goyim herding games called “boarding groups”>sit in a cramped space>spend 0.5 hr on the runwayWoah, that’s totally a better time spent than just rolling up to the train station and sitting on a spacious seat that you don’t even have to book beforehand
>>218776556Yeah honestly American culture is garbage
>>218776566But I just told you that taking a plane was the most efficient form of intercity travel, I didn't say shit about cars (also everyone on this board knows the type of guy in your pic is about 10x as likely to whine about cars and support trains)
>>218776595Please be patient most Americans are around the same educational and brain power of a 12 year old in Europe
>>218776619>Most efficient Hahahhshahaha
>be typical American truck owner>truck has multi-ton tow capacity>don't own a trailer>don't own a hitch>no toolbox>nothing in the bed, not even dirt>clean, glossy paint job>no mud, no scratches>liftedFuck these proto-boomer faggots who obviously don't use their trucks for anything.
>>218776595Anal probing is of course the state of nature
>>218776345As a Californian I can tell you that the California state bureaucracy in Sacramento is notoriously bad at organizing and planning. Everyone thought it was a good idea at the time because Governor Schwarzenegger backed the ballot measure and it seemed like there was real energy, vision, and momentum behind the project.
You’ve had twenty years to do this. Hang all the people involved in this “project”
>>218776345I would laff at you for bit having hsr but we haven't been having a great time with them so for now I'll restrain from doing any further comments.
America is allergic to mass transit. Heckin car culturino...
>>218776784whenever I see a pickup truck parked I check the bed to see if its clean. too many of them are just totally spotless.
>>218776784The fact that Yanktanks can't compete with these Jap beasts in actual farm jobs or off-roading tells you everything you need to know about American truck culture. Granted, old school Ford actually used to be respectable. My friend still has a 90s Ford ute in his farm, but otherwise ain't nobody driving newer models for real world now.
>>218778035>the most transit happy tax rich state can't even get a sliver of rail done after decadescan you not see why? no fucking way anyone else is moving forward with this if the ringleader can't manage it
>>218776516Yeah, why not? Trains have more spacious and comfortable seats, don't have airport security bullshit, and often train stations are in the centre of the city. Also, it's quite nice to admire the landscape from ground level.
>>218778120they had too much red tape. they should make me grand czar of infrastructure.
>>218776345takes one hour to fly
>>218776345I don't see it working without decent inner-city public transit. If you need a taxi or rental car to go anywhere once you arrive anyway, you may as well drive there in the first place, or fly into the airport.
>>218776345We already have it you fucking prole
