Why can’t we have decent/high speed rail service

There’s no excuse. Our rail service is horrible and there’s no way defending it.

>but it’s a big country
China is a big country, and so is Russia, yet they manage to do better
>but muh terrain
Aside from Appalachia and the smoky mountains, America is pretty much flat. Japan is a mountainous country and they managed to build theirs
>cars are just apart of our culture
Not true. Car culture didn’t kick off until the 1950s. And before then we had the best rail service on earth. Plus the westward expansion and population growth of the US wouldn’t have been possible without the help of railroads

The Jews

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE SOCIALISM. I YOU SHOULD BUILD YOUR OWN GODDAMN RAIL ROAD LIKE WE DID IN THE 1800S

car companies bought all the streets cars, and forever fucked the superior usa public transportation system. They build roads instead, now you have car domination. They want you to bail them out, and then they will use it to lobby against anything that affects their business.

Could it be because the Soviets were so "famous" for their trains that America didn't want to dip into Soviet territory and get crushed by their superior technology at the time?

Just speculating.

Too expensive, not efficient, huge drain on any budget, giant spending needed and will never be able to pay it back

Don't forget the US is the size of a continent, rather than European countries where trains still need subsidies to be able to survive.

Also China's rail system is heavily dependent on subsidies and isn't cost efficient at all

I'm going to drive my truck to the house of next retard that posts one of these muh high speed rail threads, and beat you to death with a model train.

Bingo

Good goy

Because our politicians are bought by the oil industry

Free market niggers like you should be nailed to a cross.

Trains are for hauling jews, you commie fuck.

>Why can’t we have decent/high speed rail service
Niggers. It always comes down to niggers when it comes to shit in the US.

We'd be one of the most advanced civilizations if it weren't for the lack of whiteness in major cities

Because we have current infrastructure that is design for cars. We now need to improve/maintain the current infrastructure and also spend on top of that to include new transportation i.e. high speed train, and we don't have the stomach to spend that much. Also take a look into California high speed rail and see what happens when present/modern US bureaucrcy tries to implement new infrastructure, it's a shit show.

Have you ever looked at train/greyhound transport time? Even then, most trains only go to major or moderate cities and it takes at least 17 hours. So if you reside out in the country, someone has to drive you to the train station. Even if we had super speed trains, you would only be able to go from NYC to Chicago and stuff. The price would be equivalent to a airplane ticket.


In Europe, a lot of people don't have cars and getting a driver's license is a bitch. Why would I bother getting a license or a car when I can take the bus?

Why don't we build things like Hoover damn, Mt Rush Moore, Panama Canal etc anymore?
Jewish Success in economics
20 trillion worth in debt

To be fair if i were american i wouldnt want to pay for one and have niggers break it. After all all European countrys are still european, and still their tribe, I dont mind giving money to my tribe.

Don't fucking lie, you wouldn't use a goddamn train even if it was of the "muh high speed bullet" variety. We have a country spanning rail system, it isn't used by people for transportation and therefore wasn't upgraded because cars are far more convenient, they allow you to determine your own time table for travel instead of planning your travel around the train schedule. It is and always will be a waste of fucking money, CA just spent billions on a "light rail" from LA to SF and all we managed to do is waste money and end up with another shitty rail system that nobody will use that doesn't even go to the planned fucking cities.

Rail is an old, out-dated technology that Europeans use only because we already have the rail network around

>i have no idea what public goods are

Maybe you should disband the military, and hire your own. Oh wait you won't cause then china would come in and take your shit. private corporation that are non Japanese will just jew people more than the government.

Because people fear change since the flavor of change they are exposed to is shit-tier niggerfication of our country going to a third world where high technological innovation is synonymous with self-serving corporate faggots and government cucks. Also, China and Russia don't use such high speed trains all over their country, it is on limited lengths. Doing high speed across the nation all over the place would be a cost nightmare, and only higher taxes or ticket costs will actually make this come to fruition and be feasible.

Because we’re too busy subsidizing niggers and spics. Japan, China and Russia have no problem because they don’t have a parasitic welfare class leeching off the tax base.

bullshit. I took a train from frankfurt to prauge it was awesome. fast, great food, cheap beer. took 7 hours but time flew.

If we had a train that ran parallel to i95 down to Florida from NY that followed the euro model it would be awesome.

160mph you could get there in 12 hours with stops.

wrong it cause car company, airlines, plane companies and fucking big oil would hate it, because it would fuck their profits. America's cities have shit transportation system if you exclude cars. Even america's roads are being fucking neglected. Fucking obama should just renovated infrastructure instead of bailing fags out.

Power companies could lobby in favor of it because AC rails would use up the power grid.

The US constitution gives too much power to rural areas, full of low educational attainment people who are easily duped by right-wing identity politics deployed on behalf of the wealthy interests who reject the public good and and kind of socialized wealth or public infrastructure.

Yes, corporate America is trying desperately to use liberal idpol to control and manipulate urban populations, but we shouldn't let this distract from the fact that they have ALREADY used right wing (white Christcucked) idpol to completely neutralize any kind of potential democratic movement from rural America.

Urban America, despite all the moronic liberal idpol (minority racial interests, LGBTQ, etc) at least still has the potential for social-democratic politics, politics in the interests of the majority and against the elite ownership class. Unfortunately the US constitution lets a handful of hick states with minimal population outvote urban areas where most Americans actually live.

The electoral college is why we keep getting pro-corporate candidates even though they lose the popular vote.

Two senators per state regardless of population is why we can't have Medicare for all, tuition free college, basically any kind of federal spending on a mass scale outside of the military industrial complex.

We have a backwards system implemented by slaveholders to maintain slavery. Even though we fought a Civil War to end slavery, we never changed the dumb system which gives all the power to the most backward and undeveloped parts of the country.

>so one one would create solar railroads and scam public rails

It's also $100 a trip. Only worthwhile if you're going across country.

fuck off you commie twat, you described why America is not yet a commie shithole .
>muh strong federal government ruled by ruling city elites will solve it all they no better than people whom live in local areas, they know their struggle better.
>oh no there is a house where it is not based on population of ruling elite cities with slaves workers would dominate and instead smaller pop state can tell the big boys what it up!

You can't have medicare cause it doesn't work. You have high labor and insurance cost to practice medicine.You have the fact people do not see true cost in their insurance bills. You have the fact that everyone want the greatest and latest expensive tests and equipment, and you need training for that. You have the fact that free shit just means people do not appreciate it and abuse it. You also have the fact that health care is literally seen as a fuck trying to be health this why I pay for health care fag, pay up scheme.

I recently moved to Germany from the US. This place is supposed to have amazing rail service. The problem is its FUCKING EXPESIVE. A one way trip from Nuremberg to Frankfurt on the fastest route possible (about 3) costs about 80€. There are slightly cheaper tickets but they have about 3 or 4 change overs. Another 80€ to get back. Meanwhile, I can fill up my car for about 40€ and be able to drive there and back on that single tank with plenty left over. Not only that, but I can have my car (even adding in parking its only 20€ for the weekend) which i can haul stuff and people in and also be able to drive to places where the train has no service. Basically, the train system in Germany fuckin sucks.

Amtrash permanently ruined passenger rail service in America

Account for all the net positive economic externalities of rail: higher productivity and more growth and innovation from greater economic network effects due to easier travel, reduced deaths and injuries from car crashes, reduced deaths and disease from auto/airplane pollution, lower carbon footprint, easier for people to relax or do work while traveling compared to flights or driving, less social isolation/atomization from auto generated sprawl, less natural habitat destruction from sprawl/roadkill/road infrastructure, less dependence on hostile/human rights violating oil regimes, etc and high speed rail easily pays for itself.

Now imagine the same trip whit niggers

>you would only be able to go from NYC to Chicago and stuff. The price would be equivalent to a airplane ticket.

Which would still be a huge improvement because trains go city center to city center, but when flying you need to get a $50 uber/lyft/cab ride or waste hours on buses/local metros to get from the airport to downtown.

1. Land ownership, Chinese government owns all the land in China, not individuals.
2. Labor cost too high

Imagine allowing yourself to be fully-cucked by 13% of the population.

When will be stop using the mere existence of groids as an excuse why we can't have nice things?

Even if every groid was a literal chimp, with 0 productivity, paying for all the chimps to have food and shelter should be a drop in the bucket compared to the kind of public investment we need to make in order to advance our civilization.

Fuck off, I'm not chipping in on a $5 trillion national rail system just so a bunch of faggots in LA can have an easier time visiting a bunch of faggots in NYC or CHI or ATL and drive the rampant push towards urbanization more than it's already being pushed.

>Let's build a $5 trillion dollar rail system so I can save $50 on a cab ride

I'd pay $100+ a month for nigger-free public transit and never having to own a car. Fuck cars.

WTF? A HIGH SPEED TRAIN JUST FLEW OVER MY HOUSE!

You cant, your nation has 0 identity, you can chimp out in a war around a flag but besides that, everyone there lives for themselves his profit and his pleasure, you want national infraestructura? Then you need national identity, and as homogenious as posible, this includes race too.

>There’s no excuse.
It would cost trillions and like the rest of the world it would need huge government substitutes.
