Breitbart ^ | 10/21/2021 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/21/2021 8:14:40 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Joe Biden revisited his love of trains during a trip to his hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, promising to get millions of vehicles off the roads.

“We will take literally millions of automobiles off the road,” Biden boasted, arguing that more high-speed trains like the ones constructed in China would make trains more attractive.

Old Willie Green...I think I had one of the last discussions with him on here that got heated. I don’t think I chased him off, though...I’m not that powerful or important.

The middle ground of products is the least stable. Cars are slower than trains but more available and convenient. Airplanes are a lot faster. Trains have the inconvenience of airplanes with having to schedule the trip and travel to the terminal without the speed of planes. Trains can only expand by taking business away from products the customers prefer.

You can see in Europe more and more budget airlines taking business from their trains' long distance travel. So rather than leading Europe, Biden wants us to go to where they were fifty years ago.

I realize there have been some updates, but aren’t trains and train tracks essentially 1800’s technology? It was great when most areas were urban, and people lived close together, but people are much more spread out now.

US Government is the most bloated, wasteful ineffecient governments on earth

It can not run trains efficiently. It can’t even regulate trains.

there is ZERO chance it will build new train lines.

We do not have enough rail lines to handle the current transportation demand and he wants to add more demand? The stupid is strong with this one.

"Now do we really needs billions in roads and bridges if we have no cars?"

The newer, gentler, infrastructure package also contains massive new government
welfare program giveaways.

Any actual transportation infrastructure improvements will be for the military's use
too suppress conservative protests.

Wait a minute—the state of California is leading the way with their amazing new bullet train—connecting all the major cities together....

Oops.

Right of way issues will kill that. The railroad tunnel in Baltimore has the Northeast bottle necked.

The CCP at least knows how to build and run high speed trains competently. Our domestic leftists are spectacularly incompetent and mendacious. Let’s look at California’s floundering high speed rail project. Then the East Coast version of leftist incompetence: they can’t even build a rail tunnel under the Hudson River to replace a century old tunnel. Between minority and women set asides, environmental measures, mandatory LGBTQ and CRT nonsense, kickbacks to politicians and union bosses, etc., public works are a sewer of incompetence and corruption.

Unannounced detours to concentration camps and gas chambers (or some metaphor of it) will occur once the Government controls the path and destination.
