It’s because if we build trains like those commies in Europe (or invest in any public transportation infrastructure) it means The Poors might be able to get around easily and save money and shit commuting to their three jobs. Next thing you know, they’ll be invading your gated community and fucking up your golf course, and we can’t have that! 😱
I know where your coming from, but the US does have a rail network that connects one end to the other, you can get from LA to Boston, it as just not fast and requires transfers, just like a Lisbon to Moscow trip would. But yeah that’s proof that the “America is too big for trains” argument is complete bullshit.also yeah building a rail network that is large and accessible would help the poorest members of society, so we should do it, now
