The problem is that Amtrak doesn’t own most or even any of those rails, instead having to pay for the right to use them. The reason why this is a problem is that it’s hard to upgrade rails to high speed when you don’t own them. Amtrak trains also often have to stop and give passage to freight trains, which is unlike what you’d see in Japan where passenger trains are on their own, dedicated rails.

“It works for me so its obviously something you did” is never helpful and often just rude.

You don’t have to fake docs to create a false uproar. All it takes is painting things in a bad light and hoping your audience doesn’t dig deeper. EG the part I stopped reading at is when he put ‘cis’ in quotation marks and said the linked person was hating on cisgendered white people, when in reality the link they provided only showed the person saying that cisgendered folks are generally better off in the workplace.

Isn’t Bryan Lunduke a semi-closeted Qanon dude? Some of this article does smell of that kind of thinking.
