Spaceman Future! posted:Riding the train is awesome, the problem here has been completely misidentified. Trains dont necessarily need to get to their destination faster, they just need to get there more comfortably and cheaper. Recent trends have been about buckling down on train travel since the primary management in the industry are gigantic fuckwits who think their trains are ground airplanes so ripping out luxuries and adding more seats is the only way to fix their hemorrhaging business model. If your seats are cheaper and people can go get ripped in your bar car and then pass out on a leather couch or play some pinball next to a jukebox while making their trip for cheaper than a flight would be you will book every single train. People already have a soft spot for the idea of taking a train trip, but the price and dinginess of the current state of the industry makes dealing with an airplane a no brainer. This sounds good but the numbers just don't work out like you think they do, at least for moderate to long distance travel. Even on very short stretches, like Chicago -> nearby major cities (twin cities, detroit, etc.) it's still going to be rough to make the numbers work. The ultimate problem for trains is that planes are just too drat cheap. What does competing on price and comfort actually mean when I can get from Chicago to LA in about 4 hours for just over 250 bucks? You can't, even if it was free your time would have to be worthless for the train to be a better option, because at 100 mph your trip from Chicago to LA is going to take at least 4-5 times what the plane would take. Remember it won't be a straight run, not to mention how long picking up new passengers along the way would take. Which then destroys your "comfort" argument, because I who gives a poo poo how comfortable you make it when ultimately you will still be in a very small area for a very long time. And this isn't even getting into things like labor costs, which will be massively inflated considering you have to pay 24 hours of wages per trip vs. 4. I don't think the management are idiots, I would guess they ran the numbers and found out very quickly what you are trying to do won't work. Slow cheap travel is an oxymoron. tsa fucked around with this message at 21:11 on Apr 8, 2015 |

Rygar201 posted:This dude looks like the quintessential Paulite I wonder if it's this guy from Dave's article about the event. quote:"I feel like people blow up terrorism bigger than it is," said Tony Zore, a 28-year old consultant who was carrying a Gadsden flag that Ron Paul had signed years earlier. "I think it's something we need to address, and I don't think we should give up the sanctions. That's what I like about Rand—he hasn't been for war all the time, and he hasn't been against war all the time." Could be, but I'm guessing that's not the only Gadsden flag Rand signed today.

I want him to be vice president for as many consecutive terms as possible, making him the first 3, 4 and 5 term VP. AtomikKrab posted:what about at 200 mph for 100 dollars a head? 2-3 times to get there but you can avoid paying for a hotel by having them sleep on the train for a night It's stupid, and irrelevant. We can go around making train travel very long distance better once say the top 50 metro areas in the country have a functioning and viable commuter rail system each. Very few people need to travel long distance on a regular basis. They can put up with taking a plane or whatever.
