We have to deal with that and call it high speed? We are 30 years behind the rest of the world. Obama tried HSR with both houses of congress .

Think about that for a moment, just imagine how far we are behind and never will even reach tech from almost 60 years ago today.



Think about that.



Japan on just one sample of their slowest and oldest train plan.

They move over 1 million people a day. Out of Tokyo every three mins in peak time.


It has has thus far Moved over 10 Billion people
