    High Speed Rail is in a Renaissance phase here in the US, it’s incredibly exciting! I’m not sure how this fits the current discourse here though.

    • My brother in Zeus. Saudi’s HSR started after and finished before California’s HSR. Your government would sooner loot the project for copper wires and steel beams to sell, so that it has money to send to Israel, than allow it to finish.

      Your entire government’s purpose is to finance and aid Israel, everything else is coincidental.

        Well there’s a difference in governance. If the US was not a democracy with protections for private property, HSR would’ve likely been complete. Not to mention the vast differences in terrain which pose difficult engineering questions to be answered.

            Well more specifically it’s a democratic republic, which would answer this question, however the future will likely bring change as votes are cast!

                You’re not limited to voting for two candidates, however I would like to see a down ballet voting system as that would increase the potential for an alternative to the two main parties getting elected. Fortunately, with our democratic process, this is quite possible! It just takes organization and an effort towards change!
