Schwarzenegger: US Infrastructure Like a Developing Country

submitted by Farhad2000

1 decade 5 years 2 months 1 week ago

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger advocates for a high-speed rail system to modernize US infrastructure, which he considers to be on par with that of a developing country. He says, "Our trains go the same speed today as they were 100 years ago," Schwarzenegger says. "So where is the progress?"

He forgot to mention the most important advantage travelling by train has over flying: no cavity search! And no check-in either!

I thought a cavity search was a feature of plane travel..

James Howard Kunstler would approve.

Only if your health insurance doesn't cover prostate exams.

I've visited my fair share of countries, and the US infrastructure is definitely NOT like a developing country's. You may not have decent rail, but there are alternatives for affordable and fast transportation.

To me, having a "developing country's" infrastructure involves being forced to drive on potholed roads or ride uncomfortable trains because you're given no alternative.

Anyway, his point about high speed rail is obvious to anyone who's even been to Europe. For trips under 500 km, I'd much rather travel by high speed rail -- it's cheaper and often quicker than flying once you account for the time wasted waiting for the flight and on airport security.
