LET IT GO! Lefties Really Think High Speed Rail Would Transform Our Lives,

The Left loves them some high-speed rail. Nothing is more exciting than taking two or three times as long to travel somewhere on a fixed schedule. Sounds so exciting.

For example, Amtrak’s Empire Builder travels from Chicago, IL to either Seattle or Spokane, WA. It takes 45-46 hours from start to finish. A flight from O’Hare to Seattle? Four hours, 23 minutes.

The Left thinks the trains are greener. Ignoring all the work that has to go into clearing the land and building the rails and maintaining the lines, etc.

Oh, and the cost. As we’ve told you — California’s high speed rail project is WAY over budget and WAY behind schedule.

But they just won’t let the concept die:

Our lives would not be any different.

Right.

Guess what, Democrats. We don’t have this because people who view the government as a place to put in your 9-5, not stir up the waters, and otherwise just milk the money pushing paperwork exist.

This is too brutal a takedown not to share:

CA has over 13,000 ‘workers’ building out that high speed rail and they’ve done jack-all in however many years. And they’re asking for more money. Which is flat out bulls**t – as proven by, ironically, Europe.

YOU are the mindset that makes this kind of accomplishment impossible, because it hurts your feelings when Elon runs a lap around NASA. You’d rather waste 40 billion of our taxpayer money not hooking up a single person to high speed Internet than give it to Starlink.

And also: TSA is one of the biggest impediments to fast travel. (Amtrak too, for different reasons.) Let me guess: you’re against eliminating either and bringing in new blood, too.

YOU are the reason why we can’t have nice things.

no they wouldn’t. people would still take the plane or drive. your lives suck primarily because of the circumstances of your births and the choices you have made in this life. a redundant passenger train system would not meaningfully affect the magnitude of your suffering https://t.co/J3MaTuKmC8

Well, that’s cheery.
