Comment on The Eurobean Mind Cannot Comprehend
NostraDavid@programming.dev 2 months agoI just learned the Faroe Islands is connecting all their islands (Exploring New Road Tunnels and Power Generation in Faroese Islands). Even to islands that only have 500 people living there.
I don’t see why the USA couldn’t increase its railway (hell, you can learn from Japan if it needs to be earthquake resistant) starting today.

That’s fascinating, and I agree with you. Why the US hates the idea of high-speed rail is beyond me, especially because they prided themselves so much on the rail system they put together earlier in their development. In any case, the US can’t do much of anything with its debt-to-GDP as high as it is right now. They can hardly keep from shutting the government down entirely because they won’t even agree to a government budget.
