>>1942357cool story, sometimes I want to get a non-US passport just to go to the places that we fucked up in the pursuit of whatever diplomatic goals the people in charge decided was important at the time. Have definitely been judged for being a burger internationally, not even in places with a history of bad relations either.
>>1942701this, FFS build HSR already, at least in the east. It makes zero sense to fly planes from philly to DC if you could do an HSR instead. Of course we can't get good things because nobody, even the people in charge, have any drive or ambition to expand rail or to make it useful, and so all you really get is the places where it already is useful (ie. the boston to providence line).
