Not if conservatives have their way. The logic of the article does fall apart. For instance, it says, well, we love our cars too much! We like to drive, so we'll never take a train.
Oh? Then why are the 50,000 airline flights EVERY DAY in America just by the top three airlines? Looks to me like there's lots of people flying instead of driving. My flight yesterday was certainly full, as was the flight I took out on Friday!
And YOUR argument, that we can't get any land to build high-speed rail on, it's too expensive and people are too litigious.
Oh? Then how can we get the land to build highways and roads on, and even land for new airports? Somehow THAT happens!
Green, you're part of the "We Can't" America. When liberals were in the majority, there was nothing we couldn't do. We won a world war, we helped rebuild after that war, we won the space race. Now that you conservatives are in charge, we can't even build windmills or solar panels - we've left that up to China to do.
To get on the Acela, I took the DC Metro to Union Station, got there twenty minutes ahead, walked down the track a short ways, got on the train and took off. Got to Philly, and in five minutes from arrival I was in a cab to the hotel. Big comfortable seat, fast internet. You didn't feel like you were in a cattle car crammed together. If the Acela went everywhere, I'd never get on an airplane again.
And that's what you guys are scared of. So I had to leave for the airport 3 hours early, then it took over an hour after landing to get to the hotel. The airports were crammed with people. Flying is such a damned chore.
OF COURSE we could catch and surpass the rest of the world with rail. But not with you "we can't" naysayers who will always be here to tell us what we CAN'T do.
When I was growing up, we didn't listen to you assholes. But now you're in charge, telling us that the USA is a backwater country who must just let other, more savvy countries do everything we can't do.
You're the "expert" that tells us what we can't do and why. We need to tell you to shut the fuck up and go ahead and have the vision to do it. I don't argue for our nation's limitations. You are the one doing that.
When the truth us liberals are like a spoiled child in the toy isle throwing an I want it tantrum
says the guy who is so deeply offended that nonconformists reject unity with the ravages of white conservatism.
. I think we both like John Oliver. 
- systemic racism isn't a thing - and of course all the problems come from weaknesses in the Black family and Black culture.
