When Jimmy “Bikeshorts” Oberstar is involved, you can guarantee it’s a boondoggle.
All roads I see lead to Illinois. What a useless system.
Notice, how nothing goes north/south. Only the coasts, and East/West, and everything goes through Chicago.
‘High speed’ is such a boondoggle. I use ‘High speed’ to refer to trains slightly faster then the current system most of the time, but slower then cars.
