Yes, vote with their feet and walk from New York to DC because the railroad has a monopolyPRR had a monopoly when the B&O pulled out of CRRNJ Terminal. What do you mean? While we have had some significant problems in getting Amtrak reasonably funded, this is more due to the fact that government in this country is largely unaccountable to the voters, a fact not helped by anti-democratic and authoritarian persons such as yourself Me antidemocratic? The countries that have HSR are the antidemocratic and authoritarian ones; maybe you should spend some time researching them. They wouldn't have it if not for technology that Edison and Tesla developed in the USA. If you think the business lobbies are bad here, you should see how they operate in those countries; and as for unaccountability, it's worse over there, never mind their politicians having immunity from prosecution and there being no separation of powers. Don't mistake me for a Libertarian, now. You have no leg to stand on calling anyone "authoritarian" and "antidemocratic" after saying this load of lunacy . . . |
