  If they weren’t 10 times as slow I would never fly.

  We have the tech for high speed rail, we just refused to build it because of lobbying (bribery), regulatory capture, and forced dependence on cars and planes.

  To me at least the speed isn’t a problem. I’d much rather take a 2 day Amtrak (in sleeper) than an 8 hour plane.

  The problem is the pricing, and also how much it fluctuates due to the extremely low capacity (one train a day…)
