This country has a great deal of woes, and our lack of modern railroads is somewhere among them. Having said that, I think we need to resign ourselves to the fact that this will never get fixed. The financial (and thus political) strength of the airline industry is too massive. The cost of all the easements that would be required is astronomical. Communist countries don’t have these problems.
Besides, the United States is in the process of becoming an authoritarian regime. Establishing high-speed rail would be like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Seriously?
Do you know anyone stupid enough to believe that the world’s kings and sultans “looted and plundered?”
I happy to say that I don’t.
It appears that the idiot who composed the meme at left wants us to believe that the ACA is the reason that healthcare prices have risen.
Not shortages of doctors and nurses? Not declining education and worsening diets? Not poverty?
Another Exercise in the Difference Between Correlation and Causation
Could someone please explain why there isn’t enough evidence to prosecute and convict these people for second-degree murder based on the videos that almost all Americans have seen dozens of times?
Why second-degree murder and not manslaughter? You don’t fire three rounds into someone’s head at close range without the intent to kill them.
Why won’t self-defense work? Rewatch the videos.
