I hate flying so much, but mutts reject HSR so I guess it's spirit and delta for me

Fun fact: if DB trains arriving in Switzerland are delayed, SBB terminates them in the border station in order not to disrupt the national Swiss tact.

You forgot to mention the bad part, the actual flying.

>constant engine drone at 80 dB in the background
>bone dry air tormenting your respiration
>narrowest seats with the least legroom possible forcing you into a single body position for hours
>food, if served, tastes like fucking nothing IF YOU'RE LUCKY
>crying toddlers
Next time I fly I'm just gonna take a neck pillow, sleep mask and ear plugs and knock myself out with prescription free sleeping pills.

This is why I stopped flying brokeboy airlines like spirit and started flying delta, and got a nice pair of noise canceling headphones (airpods max). I just go to the airport mcdonalds, get 60 nuggets, pop on the noise cancellers then pop on a movie and break out the nuggets.

I know it's not a fair comparison but delays on Amtrak are very common due to lacking absolute right-of-way on the track owned by other rail companies.
I use the Lincoln Service sometimes form STL to Chicago but it is often delayed by the end by an hour or more. Rarely is (but is!) on time if they don't need to let freight pass.

Do you really believe that if there were high speed rail in this country that the experience would differ in any appreciable way from the experience of flying, aside from the fact that it would take even longer to arrive at your destination?

Do you think they wouldn't bring the Heimatland Sicherheit security theater to the train as well?
Here's a hint: they don't want you traveling anywhere. You stay in your pod and eat the bugs. Travel is for elite.

I advise against the thc gummy because you might find you will be unable to pass out and have a terrible time instead.
It's better to get as drunk as possible and play videogames/binge watch some shit.

Whatever you do, you are guaranteed to suffer.

Please teach me, master.
I've been unable to sleep from mixing alcohol with melatonin before.
I find hitting vitamin D3 hard during the day helps with crazy ass dreams where you live a parallel life in your sleep.

Well, assuming HSR is done correctly...
>less wait time due to no refueling
>early boarding
>more baggage space that's presumably cheaper
>dynamic decoupling so all destinations can be on the same platform, meaning less infrastructure, more direct routes, simplified scheduling, and a single departure time for multiple destinations instead of having to deal with ATC
>comfortable seats
>specialty cars
>cozy overnights that make the additional travel time mostly irrelevant, plus you get actual sleep
>fewer weather-related incidents (turbulence, delays/cancellations)
>no obligation to fill out all seats due to cheaper operating cost and decoupling excess cars
Yes, I think it would make a substantial difference.
