japan can have them but why are americans such pussies about it

California wasted billions of tax payer dollars and no train

We gave up on rail for cars. Not a great way to go, but... That's the truth of it

everyone knows this. and it was β€œwe” it was ford and gm

People choose the individual route that automobiles offered. Ferd and Gubment Motors just sold stuff that people bought.

lol not at all. gm lobbied the fuck out of the government. who do you think creating the term β€œjay walking”

Sure. And Ford built up the nazi military truck production lines.

Yes, they had an influence, but, people did spend their money on the vehicles and that just lead to the death of rail expansion.

Because you can fit 20 Japans in America and they have 1/3 of our population. They depend on trains whereas we have very little incentive to spend billions increasing the speed of trains here. Our railways serve industrial needs more than passengers.
