Why can't the US build high-speed railway like China?

Cool VPN, migger.

The US does not have a network of big cities worth connecting with rail. There are only a couple of corridors which are already served
>>
Niggers would ruin it
>>
>>545438541
Just implement social credit system and deny them tickets based on that
>>
>>545438533
sure we do, and they are. hell you can even be a passenger if you want. ain't quite legal but as long as you don't do anything untoward they won't mind much
>>
>>545438384
We use planes, which are superior in every way. They are faster, more environmentally friendly, cheaper and you need only a runway at both ends instead of ruining your land with physical tracks
>>
>>545438762
>instead of ruining your land with physical tracks
Oh, fuck off
>>
>>545438533
The USA has more miles of rail than any country, its only used for cargo because we use planes for travel, which are superior in every way

OK but why
>>
>>545438602
Das rasis! We finna burn yo trains now!
>>
>>545438859
Not if they go 300 km/hr. Niggers are fast, but not that fast.
>>
>>545438829
Its true, a runway is so much more environmentally friendly than building tracks, in fact, you never will pay down the carbon cost compared to flying. Build run = done. Tracks = plowing up land, grading, building bridges, tunneling through mountains, etc its retarded compared to flying
>>
>>545438947
Commercial planes fly 800-950km/hr
>>
>>545438947
I'm so glad that the trains would never stop at any single place. That will ensure their safety completely.
>>
>>545438952
Yeah, but you got crazy highways going through all of your country. Don't pretend this is about landscapes.

Trains usually stop after consuming enough jeets and needing some sleep to digest them properly. That is the only time the train is in danger.
>>
>>545439081
no, its about speed and cost, but environmentally its a disaster as well. You can fly from nyc to la (4000km) for $60 and it takes 5 hours. A highspeed train would take 15 hours or more with stops and cost hundreds of dollars. A car takes 40 hours and costs hundreds in gas. Planes are simply superior in every way so we use them instead of rail for travel

The reason chinas behaviour on this is excusable, is because they are growing quickly and not that wealthy.
The west does not have this excuse.

HOLY NIGGER SHIT CAN YOU FUCKING FAT ASS NIGGER BURGERS EVEN READ???

THE US ONLY HAS A COUPLE OF CORRIDORS THAT MAKE SENSE TO SERVE FOR PASSENGERS (NORTHWEST AND LOSSAN) AND THEY ARE ALREADY SERVED

CHINA HAS A SHIT TON OF GIGANTIC CITIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

>>545439586
the usa has 1/4 the population of china but we are larger landwise and our cities are more spread out

cant wait for miggers to try the shit they did to iran on taiwan
>>
>>545439006
You can just hop in a train while you have to account for the hours of waiting and security fingering your butts and all that in the airports. Coast to coast airplane is obviously better but many close areas a train would be much faster.
>>
>>545438541
They should force african americans to build it, like a social program, some sort of positivo discrimination, blacks will get work spending time with black people and build a railroad, fun for brothers
>>
>>545438384
We have foid-piloted planes.
>>
>>545438384
There are a number of other things you can point to, but i actually think the biggest is the inconvenient local transit. The beauty of taking the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto is that there's a local subway and bus system that can get you where you need to go. In contrast, if you go from Houston to Dallas, the metro system will suck for getting you to work or your appointment, and you'll have to fork out for a rental or uber.
>>
>>545438384
Let's just wait another 10 years or so and see how well that Chinese train system ages
It takes a lot of maintenance to keep these complex systems operating correctly
Will they do it? Will they keep them in good working order?
>>
>>545439806
We have a program called TSA PreCheck where you get prescreened and then can walk in, go into a separate line and walk through some metal detectors and be from car to plane in under 5 minutes. Also TSA is only present at 440 of our 20,000 airports
>>
>>545440073
Then you have to deal with shitty local transit at your destination. The case for HSR in America is linking regional cities for commuters like the Texas Triangle or the Piedmont corridor from Montgomery to Charlotte for business travelers.
>>
americans are the most brainwashed people on the planet they where made to believe that public transportation is socialist and not only that they where also bullied into believing that big cars are better than small once so they can spend even more of their money on oil and can get milked even more
they are cattle unironically cattle.
And they celebrate their dumb cars and call it freedom. You cant make this shit up
Every single aspect of american life is monetized

high speed rail and niggers/browns are incompatible.

Have you ever taken a train in china? Murrifat TSA is a joke compared to it.
>>
>>545441304
Their politics are perverse with a shitcoins rug puller as president. All left or right wing e celebs are pure grifter.
It's disgusting seeing that nonsense from far away and the cattle horde gobbles it simply up.
>>
>>545438384

They don't have money left for HSR after sending them to Israel.
>>
>>545441745
No I know only about trains in Germany and here it's fine.
>>
>>545442406
Well there you won't even get near the train station without a ID check, ticket inspection, full x-ray and body search. No liquids, no sharp objects, nothing.

But be happy you will have that in germany next year.
>>
>>545443027
This will negatively impact German punctuality, millions must wait.
>>
>>545443214
Well their trains are on time if they're only 1h late so there's that. German punctuality doesn't exist anymore since DB got privatized.

Imagine jeets riding on top of the Shinkansen and they fly off the handrails at 300kph
>>
>>545438384
Because in the US you can't build anything without a 10000 step approval process including investigating every inch of soil to see if there is a rare beetle or worm. Also there is constant grift and corruption.

providing cash to israel is #1 priority. And those jewish bloodsuckers in the US apparently do not care about transportation infrastructure too much. I mean I visited United States in early october and drove 3000 miles along Interstates 80 and 90, from east to west and back again. Road surface quality is mediocre. Meanwhile you can’t drive 20 miles without running into a roadwork. I saw plenty of lanes closed with no visible construction taking place. Their road maintenance thing is a scam. Probably ran by jews as well

America's high speed rail network is optimized for cargo because transcontinental passenger travel via trains does not make sense in the age of jet airliners.
>inb4 that's not high speed
>how fast do your cargo trains move

>>545438384
It was right about the time we started doing this that the whole world began plotting against us

>the age of jet airliners.
if i want to go some place that is 4-6 hours away by car, i'd rather take a train that will take 2-3 hours. it will take 4 hours by plane, door to door.
america just wants to be stuck in 1970 for some reason.

California has been working on it for fifty years. I'm sure they'll actually lay down some tracks soon.

Here's the scam- in the US when you are in politics you can decide to build a railway to make you and your friends rich. First, you buy up all the land around where the stations will be and sit on it. Then you propose a railway going through those areas. They are guaranteed to increase in value. Since you decide where the railways go and where they get built, it's free money.

There's a reason why people have left California in droves and it's entrenched Democrats who makes their fortunes from corruption. Are things like that in China?
>>
>>545438384
>Cost per mile
Look how efficient capitalism is. It's getting almost 3.5x the money for a mile of rail compared to the inefficient communist system. I would hate to be a shareholder in China.
>>
>>545438384
They probably wanted a war with Iran and decided to keep out oil dependency.
>>
>>545438384
Jets are just better. Even with the shitty airport and TSA. The California HSR would take longer and cost more than flying from SoCal to NoCal. If it was at least cheap I'd understand why you'd want it but its not.

Cool, move to the Northeast Corridor, Florida or wait a couple of decades and maybe you can do that in coastal California. It doesn't make sense in Iowa or New Mexico.
