What does the O-T think of high speed rail being implemented stateside?
Airlines are one of the most subsidized industries in the world, and despite all the public money and in-kind services, the experience of taking even a short flight is fricking horrible. So I'm all for it.
Ironically, you'd still need to rent a car after arriving at most destinations. But that's not different from flying.

So, to deal with our inefficient and heavily subsidized existing infrastructure, we should spend trillions on creating a totally new large scale train infrastructure that will also need to be subsidized and maintained? Great plan
It likely can work in a few corridors, and by “work” I mean be convenient and relatively hassle free. Even in those corridors, the expense will be astronomical.
