    It's like that song says, if you want to catch a train going anywhere you have to catch it at midnight

    If you check the Amtrak schedule this is especially true in Northern Ohio.

    Yeah Chicago to New York/Boston goes through Cleveland/Toledo daily but similar times to what you said. Glad to see all Ohio is the same.

    Since Cleveland and Cincinnati are both served by Amtrak I I checked on time to see how long it takes to get the train between them, it's a full day.

    I live 45 mins from the nearest train station. It stops at that station maybe 2-3 times a week with stops regularly being 2-3 AM. If I want to go to the destinations at either end of the line, it costs more to travel by train than the cost of gas much less electricity in my car. Even some air flights at a nearby regional airport cost half the price of those train rides.

    Thats because we basically gave our rail system to corporations so they only maintain them enough to not have shipments derailed, and they get priority during interchanges when consumer trains are approaching the same intersection tracks. I've taken trains where we had to wait an hour for freight trains to roll through before we got our chance to go.

    Maybe there's other points in the video, but I didn't have time to watch it.

    The obsession of US to make every single piece of society "profitable"

    The desire to make everything profitable is a negative by-product of lies and truths that we are in debt as a nation, but not always knowing why or how, in reality. Why the general public believe that we just aren't making enough money to afford to cover all of the government funded departments, projects, programs, task forces, etc. to keep us going, as so 'it must be that we aren't making enough money to cover everything.' So you either bolster the profit making, reduce or cut funding or balance the budget.

    But, we as a nation have believed for so long that capitalism as the backbone of our nation, is our best bet of growing and/or maintaining what we have. And then add in hypercapitalism, and you have a recipe for what the U.S. is facing (in a lot of ways,) right now.
