Can this country stop falling apart for one week please?
We’ve been warning about dangerous infrastructure for years now. It’ll only get worse until we start building for the next millennium.
Sure, and that future likely involves a lot of trains.
I want super high speed rail instead of airplanes. I want regular high speed rail instead of highways. I want medium speed rail instead of roads. And so on. The technology is there, and we already have the land for most of it, we just need to stop building so many roads and actually build solid rail infrastructure.
Agreed.
I live in the Bay Area and because of my anxiety I can’t drive, but I can get to most places I need to be by BART/light rail.
it’s just one mode of transportation. In Japan also have a comprehensive bus system as well as small towns you can only get by car which rail trains use to service in the 1900s.
People will still have cars. We’ll still have roads and their big dick trucks. I don’t understand how this is a bad idea. LA to Vegas high speed would have been amazing. I lived in oak hills by the 15 seeing the traffic and how many people die on the pass due to car accidents was just horrifying.
I love crumbling infrastructure, it’s my favorite.
Thank you government
Thank you wealthy capitalists and oligarchs who bought control of government.
And thank you government for allowing the continued sale of all power to the highest bidder because of your refusal to punish open bribery.
Government is us. We’ve got no one to blame for this but ourselves. I mean people like you and myself might see this as the obvious problem. But far too many people are oblivious or simply don’t have a problem with it. Or have been made to feel that we have little resource for it and simply must accept it.
