People act like widespread rail in the US is some hugely impossible task, but it’s literally how the US was made.
I’m in rural bumfuck US and every town in a 40 miles radius is interconnected by rail lines that have existed for over a century. Its how these places were able to exist and grow. Even today some of these places survive because of the industrial benefits of abundant railways, but commuter rail is completely absent.
Truth nuke! I live the boonies and roads are almost always packed. And seeing some boomer scoff at hsr in the northeast or California as literally impossible pisses me off.
If every other country can pull something like this off except for burgerland, then just admit burgerland sucks in comparison.

Not to mention that trolley cars were ubiquitous in nearly every city in America prior to car hegemony.
Funny you mention car hegemony, because GM (et al) did collude to dominate public transportation in major cities
This is literally the plot of “who framed Rodger Rabbit”
Leftists 🤝 Cowboys
RETVRN to wild west
