  3.  @GBR9794  Even if the Japanese cannot make it profitable does not mean the Chinese can't. Even then, the premise that a public good/service has to be profitable is a flawed concept. Break even or close to it maybe a good target to reach and maintain, and as long as the service is not a huge burden on the budget while providing immense amount of affordability and super charge the economy, it is a net win. The fact that many Americans cannot fathom this concept is also one of the reasons why the US is in decline and part of the capitalist cultural domination of a society that they can control the minds of people living there to accept the most self-defeating and absurd notions.

  6.  @GBR9794  LOL where did you get your sources from? Is it a non-western independently verified source? If not, then go away.

  7. They deserve independence and freedom from the American empire. PR gets independence, joins BRI and I guarantee within ten years of development and investments, they will become better than some American states.

  11. @@user-cp1nr9ob5w Like the US cares about any other places' economy when they bring "freedom(tm)" and "democracy(R)". I say Free Puerto Rico. They can join BRI and get actual investments that will get them infrastructure to develop their country.

  13.  @cawheeler27  I say it is an independent country, so it's an independent country now. I'm just applying the same standards and rules invented by the US government and its corpo-state media. Free Hawai'i, free Guam, free Puerto Rico.

  14.  @Duesre  The fact that you think trains are an attack on cars already showed how deep your indoctrination by the automobile industry goes. It is not the train that might attack cars (as though having public transport is a bad thing), it has always been the automobile industry attacking public interest, public goods like trains, buses etc., just so they can create a condition where everyone has no choice but to buy a car. Then they brainwash you into thinking that being forced to fork over your hard earned money using the most inefficient way of transporting people is "freedom", which is a word that has lost all meaning in America.

  15.  @TimE-er1kn  No, that's just capitalism. This is just the logical conclusion to capitalism.

  16.  @daniels.3062  Yes you are. The western corpo-state media has brainwashed them. Any referendum held is invalid.

  17.  @daniels.3062  obviously rigged elections and brainwashed people.

  18. Haha I'll believe when I see it and that it has been independently verified that it is a real HSR. Meanwhile, China already built 45,000 km of HSR.

  19. They are stealing Puerto Ricans by making PR so terrible that anyone that can leave will leave. Brain drain is a form of colonialism and theft.

  20. Capitalism gonna capitalism. Wage theft is actually the largest form of robbery in America. Let that sink in.

  21. At the core of the problem is capitalism.

  22.  @TheModdedwarfare3  Because some of them are brainwashed to believe that statehood will bring them out of the colonial status and at least be on par of third world standards like Mississippi. That's how low the bar is.

  26.  @Xeonerable  The US is swiftly going that direction. We will see if it become that bad first, or a revolution happens first.

  28.  @reucat24  Well, Spain need some freeing themselves. The Eurozone countries are basically vassals of the American empire

  29. This kind of bullshit is why China is beating the US, and I for one, welcome that.

  30.  @rustyscrapper  You have an idealized version of capitalism that is fed to you by propaganda and is not how capitalism is practiced in real life. Striking is the most anti-capitalist thing ever and anti-labor power is the most unifying force of capitalists. The billionaires can hate each other's guts but when it comes to labor, they will sleep with each other to destroy. Using cheap migrant workers or outsourcing to destroy local wages is the most capitalist thing to do. This is the problem with USians. They live in an idealized world that does not exist and they keep using the No True Scotsman argument to confort themselves that there is this platonic ideal "capitalism" that they only have to achieve through minute reforms.
