>>1789628We tried nationalizing, but because it's politically run, the only time it was even set to make a profit after 40 years of operation, the closest it came to being profitable was under a Billionaire Businessman by the name of John Donald Trump.
This is literally tantamount to you and I shilling billions of dollars of taxpayer money for untennable routes so that the few people able to afford to shill 100-1000 dollar tickets could have a great vacation on a sleeper train.
Cope and Seethe, everything the government touches is unprofitable unless the people YOU (Democrat voter) most detest are in charge of it.
Whether it's reaching for the stars (now SpaceX exceeding goals by ludicrous margins), the postal service (reliable dates and fast time-tables within a week weren't the norm until FedEx was copied), and Amtrak until a billionaire took the White House.
Self-interest triumphs communal interest if it's only one person with no capable compatriots making certain their honest, and if one route is taken legislatively, and thus can't be outcompeted as it would be illegal, 30 routes of business and alternatives are closed.
If Amtrak were to go away tomorrow private rail wouldn't be dead unless government regulated like it did in the 80s, when it literally choked passenger rail to death except inner-city because millennitards could afford to pay it because they never saved a 1000 in their lives.
I must also gloat to Commiefornian fags that we don't have to pay a single dime for the new rail that's going from Orlando to Miami. Suck it.
(Bonus: it's common for Blue Shield health coverage to be the norm for even feed-lifters for horses and dishwashers.)
