George Will on Trains
Good thing no one is going to read this, because if they do they're gonna be pissed.
Anyway, I figured since George Will famously likes baseball, and RR famously likes trains, this shoulda been a fanshot.

You know what's a more annoying cry than, "All Aboard!"?

Let's have a contest.
Who can guess what the F. stands for in George F. Will? Go.

Seriously
the real reason for progressives’ passion for trains is their goal of diminishing Americans’ individualism in order to make them more amenable to collectivism.
Piffle.
Heh
The REAL reason for progressives’ passion for trains is the overt phallic imagery.

Aside from the fact that high-speed rail
is a fuckin’ joke, Will has managed to make it dull as well.

Ixodes scapularis perhaps? Can’t capitalize the species name, silly.

We will need something
it may not replace car travel, car technology is increasing gas milage at amazing rates. But cross country flying is going to become much much much more expensive. Making airliners fuel effiency will only improve incrementally. It is possible to link NYC to LA with a 13 hour train ride. Buisnesses may need that.
But after last night Amtrak can blow me.

Hell, space travel is ahead of high-speed rail
Look at the concept of high-speed rail. First off, almost none of the existing track can exist without major overhaul. Second, it doesn’t go anywhere that you can get to without a car, either before or after the trip is over.
By the time it’s built, it will just be sitting there while we spend another $1 trillion to replace all the highways again.
Space travel, OTOH, is moving along quietly under private domain and will soon be available to the wealthy. Later, to the middle class. What is it? Go up in the air, wait for the Earth to turn, come back down, just like in the movies. It is clean and safe. You still need a car afterward, just like at the airport until they invent something there, which is real damned likely.
All the same, the upper atmosphere is being conquered regularly now by specialty planes. Spaceports are being built.
It’s private Google-type money, not created federal bureaucracy bucks.

i would like evidence of this space travel
I would also like to see where the fuel is coming for this.
We need to spend billions if not trillions to upgrade most area of our infrastructure. Our highways, roads, bridges, rail, airports, power grid, etc are lacking behind the rest of the developed world. But while Europe and Asia built new roads, trains, power grids, we built missiles and fighter planes.

Hell, I just know what I read
This stuff could be all a flat-earth society lie.
As for fueling it, smart people probably figured it out but it seems these craft are not all that large so would require less fuel. As for escaping gravity, I reckon it takes a rocket scientist to figure that out.
I do know that every lane they add to the interstate system means it takes 3 more hours for the state highway truck to get to the secondary roads.

funny
After 9/11, Will was spouting the idea that we should use more trains because they were safer, as terrorists didn’t blow them up.
I suppose Madrid changed his mind…
yeah
That does seem to be a reason.

High speed rocket trains would be OK for George Will
But only if they receive no Federal funding (the oil companies need that money to stay in Biz!)
