  1.  @starvetodeath123  While disagreeing in principle with subsidized national transportation, I must say in Amtrak's defense that the oldest of their coach seats is vastly more comfortable than modern 3 wide discount airline seats. Not comparable, just superior.

  2.  @0000-z4z  So a proper train system is one in which the profitable traffic is sidelined in favor of the unprofitable traffic. That's why Europe has to carry so much long distance freight inefficiently by truck.

  3.  @derriegel5705  And, as a side benefit, Europe would get overrun by her enemies and we wouldn't have to hear amateurs telling us how to run our lives.

  4.  @ClosestToTheSun  Loss leaders are difficult to detect within a business, impossible to track in the economy as a whole.

  5. Defense is a legitimate purview of the federal government. Subsidized transportation is not.
