I thought we were jumping right ahead to those tube things. 30 minutes LA to SF, I'm down. I don't give a poo poo if we can't get up.

Japanese often embrace high speed trains as a form of suicide.

Oh sorry about that. I stand corrected. I am not as much of a Japanese suicide expert as I thought.

Also England and the UK aren't the same entity! The first one is just England.

It was clearly great britain in the first one. thetruesize included northern ireland but it's pretty obvious and can be ignored and there's still a difference. with mapfrappe you have to trace the country yourself, so I think he must have not done a good job.

it's slightly annoying in a morbid way because japanese commuter trains are on time to the minute but a couple times per month you won't be able to get to work/home because some kid/worker flung themselves in front of the train rather than face work/home/school

We dont care about high speed rail because the entire issue here is framed as how to get some californian idiot from la to san francisco faster. So no investing billions to provide a slight convenience to the poo poo-tier population isn't that appealing

You are stuck in the past century man. You don't need that crap anymore, Intellectual Property is what drives the economy now. All those states do is eat all the subsidies.
