Randal O’Toole of the CATO Institute has a terrific article about the Biden Administration’s effort to “make the United States the “global leader” in high-speed rail.
That’s like wanting to be the world leader in electric typewriters, rotary telephones, or steam locomotives, all technologies that were once revolutionary but are functionally obsolete today.
You can read this terrific article HERE where you would be surprised to learn that “high-speed trains…were rendered obsolete in 1958, when Boeing introduced the 707 jetliners, which was twice as fast as the fastest trains today.”
