There is no reason not to build high speed rail in the US, every major demographic wants it:

The suburban moms weirdly obsessed with Chicago want it

The lesbians in Seattle want it

The gay men in Minneapolis want it

The artists in Philadelphia want it

The polish ecologists want it

The trans women in the bay area want it

The guys who are really into Linux want it

listen i think bullet trains are cool and i get this is a joke post but. Indigenous Nations have expressed many concerns about building more rail networks across north america. famously the building of the first transcontinental railroads in Canada/the US required the near total depopulation of bison herds and the suppression of multiple Indigenous rebellions/resistance movements. if we're serious about ecological restoration, Indigenous land rights, and land back then we can't just act like everyone wants high speed rail and there isn't/won't be any legitimate pushback on it. whose land are we building these high speed railroads across?

#the 'high speed rail is the future of the US!' argument requires the US to continue to exist in the future #maybe it shouldn't boys. have we thought abt that #railroads are colonial infrastructure full stop
