>>1571290He did absolutely nothing for Amtrak during the last time he was VP and the Democrats had power. $12 billion for Amtrak which just upgraded their trainsets, but not much for their infrastructure. Then a paltry sum for HSR, which all went to California when Gov. Scott of FL and Walker of WN refused government loans for HSR projects. The project in California is an absolute disaster, hated by both left and right for different reasons, and it won't even be true high-speed (Demetrius on ARC found out in his last stream that CaHSR will be using the same ROW as CalTrain, and be subjected to speed limits due to grade-level crossings, for 220 mph capable HSR.
Passenger rail has done a fuckton better in the 4 years of Trump because of deregulation. Brightline is up and running and moving quickly to Orlando. Airlines lost their EAS gibs. TCR will be shoveling in the ground as soon as the bullshit lawsuits end. There are more streetcars in construction in America for the first time in 100 years. Amtrak was going to have its first breakeven year if it weren't for Coronachan when it was getting its act together.
This fantasy that somehow any party cares about infrastructure in the US is complete horse shit. None of them care, they're more concerned about their own powers and starting foreign wars than actually building up this country. Especially that Democrats are somehow magic and will give us HSR across the US - where the fuck is it after Obama? Fuck Biden, he's not going to do shit and give it to Cum-ala Obama, and fuck Trump if he's going to be a little pussy after talking all that shit.
