@53471647 @4ac54945 @b92dcc07 It's insane that we were able to build massive networks of rail cars in the early 20th century but can't possibly afford a single line connecting a few different cities 

 @49a98d0e @53471647 @4ac54945 @b92dcc07 We could build a high speed cross country rail line every year for a small fraction of the defense budget.
