China is able to put 14 bullet trains into operation quickly, with own designs, why not US?

    Rapture a word pentecostals throw around like a frisbee that was used once in Revelation and describes the ecstatic state of Christians in heaven not people disappearing out they cars one morning on the way to work. How on earth would I know? I read copiously, I've a degree in education, I know that Dewey's primary concern was to make Americans into good little worker bees. I know that it is far easier to indoctrinate Kids than it is to educate them. Education is about teaching people how to think what our schools do to day is teach them what to think. The mere existence of BLM and Antifa demonstrate this to be so.

    What pipeline? Surely you jest. The one Obama blocked and Trump reinstated. The one that once built is going to cost Buffets railroads millions of dollars hauling Canadian oil to American refineries. The name escapes me at the moment, but it will come back eventually. Oh and if you don't want answers don't ask questions.

    Oh yes you apparently spend a lot of time on white hate website. Buffett actually came out in support of Keystone. Buffett understands that it's mathematically impossible for the rails to haul all of the oil involved. The Logical expectation here would be that Buffett would just simply buy into companies related to the pipeline come on now think this stuff through.

    Yes. Europeans have agreat rail system. Though not high speed rail. The reasons are obvious. Expense, and distance. In the US, high speed, long distance service is impractical for commuter service. High speed freight, cross country might be viable, but that's the extent of it. Urban sprawl isn't anything eco-conscious people should encourage.

    I used to have a daydream about living in a cottage in the country and commuting by train to the city.

    That dream is shared by Silicon Valley elitists in the US. They want to be cultured and urbane on a part time basis. Crime, decay, and real estate costs is why they want to escape the city.

    100% BS. The US not having high speed rail is a national disgrace.

    Simply put, the Chinese play for the long term. They make up 10 year plans. They make sure that trade imbalances run in their favor. They lend back the money of the stupid nations who have large amounts of debt on the books. Our political system mandates consideration of the dissenting opinion, theirs says that dissent will not be tolerated. It's always easier to get things done if you get to dictate what will be done. However, there are downsides...
