It's not like everyone in the country needs to ride it daily. The US has plenty of people. You connect population centers. And if you can build on flat land rather than Japan's mountains, you're on easy mode. Really you're the one that needs to reframe things.

    It's what the people want. There's been several times where high speed rail in Florida was put on a public ballot, and overwhelmingly got voted for. And then the government came back and said, "wha...we didn't think you'd want this? We don't have the money." The last I was involved in explored high speed from Miami through Orlando and the I-4 corridor to Tampa. Huge potential. "We're a poor state, can't do it." FU FL
