Funny how the country can eminent domain your property to build a road or a transmission line, but they seem to not be able to eminent domain this nice rail system

Also we have spent an insane amount of money, 43.6 billion so far, fighting a pointless war in Iran. Yet it's unrealistic to spend money on rail

cause billionaires arent pushing for high speed rail, which is why theres no motive to do it. . because the American government is a government of the rich, for the rich.
