Easy to have high speed rail when a dictator makes all the decisions and doesn't have to worry about political opposition or profitability. (Talking about China in case it wasn't obvious.)
edit: Yes, the U.S. need to improve its infrastructure. But don't compare us to the likes of China since their form of government gives them an advantage when it comes to large government-backed projects.
Yes, but... London has great underground network qnd service as well without the dictatorship. France too. Stockholm as well. Sorry, your argument is based on one data point only.
I'm not even sure you know what my argument is. I haven't articulated a full point so I think there's some filling in the gaps going on. But what I wrote up above (without people reading into it) is factual.
Here's another point for ya; age.
London (it's geographical location)has been a living space and communal hub since 43CE, maybe if we give America a thousand years or so they will also build public transportation.
"The great London underground, established 1043 CE."
No, sadly it was much later than that. It's like saying "shaq can dunk but this stupid fucking infant over there can't even dribble the ball". Yes, great point I am so enlightened.
Hey now! That's not fair.
North Korea and Vietnam have dictators, too.
