Funny how Trump just “saved” Americans from a high-speed train…
But no one’s asking the real question:

Why is the U.S.—the richest country on Earth—the only developed nation without modern rail?

Japan’s had bullet trains since the 1960s.
China? Over XXXXXX miles of high-speed rail.
France? Germany? Even Morocco is ahead.

And yet in America, a train from LA to SF
still feels like 1985.

You think this is about “wasting taxpayer money”?
Or is it about keeping Americans car-dependent, oil-dependent, and locked into highways owned by billionaires?

Killing public transport is a feature, not a failure.

Ask yourself this:

Who benefits when you have no choice but to drive, fly, or pay Uber forever?
It ain’t you.
