And no; Willie has not been zotted. Yet.
I haven’t seen much of Willie since Jim Thompson himself told him to “zip it or zot it” a few weeks ago.
I was wondering why I haven't seen any of "Boxcar" Willie's dreck in a few days. I missed that thread. Thanks.
I ran the numbers. The only profitable shinkansen is the Japanese one from Osaka to Tokyo.
Assuming that Americans have the same train habits as the Japanese (a huge assumption), the highest corridor with the same per capita population per mile is Boston - Washington with 60 percent.
SF - LA is a longer distance than Osaka to Tokyo, fewer people and works out to only be about 20 percent.
I am glad to finally see some sober analysis.
