He's increased unemployment among blacks to 9%, giving blacks more time to enjoy themselves (even though they won't have any money to do anything, like pay mortgage/rent or buy food).
if it only utilized the northeast corridor, it'd be turning a profit. the thing about amtrak is that it's much more convenient to americans without a car.
"And thus HIGHLY inconvenient for those with a car that nonetheless have to help fund this boondoggle."
eyyy the word "boondoggle". the weapon of the individual who doesn't know economics
if amtrak were as good as the rail service in japan, almost no one in america would need a car
cars are economically terrible because those with a car still need to waste 1-5 minutes of their life finding a parking space to park it, and cities need to accommodate the demand by building parking spaces, which are a false economy.
let alone how much a car, car insurance, and gas costs for the average consumer
I think I will "endure" the terrible "waste" of 1-5 minutes of my life in order to maintain the high level of freedom we have with our mobility. Perhaps if you learned how to drive, it wouldn't take you that long to park?
" the weapon of the individual who doesn't know economics"
I am not sure why you would make such an obtuse statement like that, then go on to point out that Amtrak is not good when it comes to "economics". As satire goes, you are no Babylon Bee.
And parking spaces are a "false economy"? What are you smoking? I'll bet you think Socialism will work when it's done right for the first time too.
"in order to maintain the high level of freedom we have with our mobility"
*laughs in traffic jams*
ahahahahaha, the people can't obtain simple driving license existing have proved you wrong in that regard. let alone how little freedom there is in choosing an alternative to driving. the so-called """"""freedom"""""" of mobility we have is brought out by oligarchs run in the oil industry that are built in eliminating free-market capitalism and replacing it with a monopoly.
remember i said traffic jams earlier? oh no, the people who use a bicycle or their two legs to walk have managed to find a solution. what magic is this????
they've avoided the free american system that is using cars, going walmart, leading sedentary lifestyles, and looking like this:
"And parking spaces are a "false economy"? What are you smoking?"
this image depicts a typical american suburb. notice how less than 25% of the space is actually used for shopping, let alone how large the taxes in the area must be in order to keep that road in perfect driving condition. most of it is empty parking spaces, and the arterial road exists so cars and only cars can use it. imagine taking the bus to get here (if there is a bus). i am f**kin' loving the quality of life here
this image depicts a typical street in amsterdam. not built for cars, but for bicycles. there are no traffic jams here, only shopping customers and cyclists. spoiler alert, bike roads cost less to maintain in comparison massive roads for heavy cars.
"I'll bet you think Socialism will work when it's done right for the first time too."
eyyy it's funny you mentioned that because i was f**kin' waiting for this. the government back in the 1950's killed our world class, privately-run, rail infrastructure to make way for freeways using taxpayer dollars from said private rail companies. i even advocated for japanese-style rail system, which is privately run for the most part. meanwhile, here you are advocating for taxpayer-built freeways and parking lots that don't make money.

amtrak isn't a great system as it stands, which is why i do secretly hope that it is split up like JNR was after the shinkansen was built. however, it gets less in subsidy than our airlines and less state money than our highways. true free mobility comes in the form of the best public transit and healthy, non-obese americans.
See? This is what is wrong with you liberals- you are depraved, and have NO idea what is good for America. That list contains a host of useless "acts", but many many that are BAD for America.
Increasing illegals into the country? Bad.
Terminated progress on the border wall. Bad.
Overturning banning Muslims from known terrorist states from entering the US. Bad
EVERYTHING on Climate Change = BAD BAD BAD.
There's no point in going on- you are patently insane *if* you think these things are good for America, its allies, and the world.
Now, you posted a list that you likely spent nearly no time in actually reading. How about you find just 3 things you think are good so we can enlighten you as to why they are not?
Isaiah 5:20-23
Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!

There's a difference with sticking to the idea of pulling out and then there's screwing it up completely and try to convince us and Afghanistan that it will work anyway
