Wasn’t there something involving railroads in “Atlas Shrugged?” Maybe a little more prophetic, but then I read it over 35 years ago, so I may be wrong. Funny though- my “Novel Class” teacher in high school, a PK, had me read it while everyone else in class read “The Fountainhead.” At the time I just figured it was because I was a sophomore in a senior class and maybe it was maybe less risque. I now know better.

Yes...and almost all of the 0bambi industrial/social wrecking is covered.

Seems to me 0bambi's teleprompter has been loaded with all of the "dark side" text from Atlas Shrugged.

It’s a “beautiful solution” and a way to control the work force.

High-Speed Rail union jobs are offered to unemployed Americans so as to build a network that will assist moving people into metro centers — where they can easily be transported via the same rail system they are building, the very rail system that will bankrupt free enterprise and grow government.
