It wasn't the MBAs of the 80s, it was the deregulation under Carter.

Would you rather take a high speed train or an Airbus 321 Neo/737 MAX?

Money, and the demographic that would take these trains would ruin it for everyone

No one who supports creating high speed rail in the USA uses the attempts to create it as examples of success.
Why doesn’t anyone tout California’s high speed rail project as a success?

Seems like a great way to travel if its some kind of upscale version but that wouldnt make money and frankly im not interested in riding across the country with the greyhound bus clientele....sounds miserable AF to be around a bunch of poor trash fricks for 8-10 hours in an aluminum can. frick that
