Turnips want you to hold their beer

I dare not fucking wonder how building a train line into fucking nonsense gonna induce economic growth in your mind but I actually don’t want to know

No, the two are not comperative! Roads are not necessarily high ways; comparatively expensive (tho not nearly as so) and meant to conduct large traffic! Though I am sure you could make a comperative example if you even pretended to be good faith! Though fucking again, if a high way was constructed into the fucking nowhere, running through nowhere I would be angry for wasting so much money… Which, fucking again, is my problem

Thats not a yes or no question! Once again, why do you suddenly have an issue with a topic YOU started once it turned out that your assumption, for which you again LIED, was proven to be false?

He proposed of a possibility? Not a good one in my opinion, like planting an adult hedgehog into a womans womb and artificially inducing birth

China is state capitalist…

Very much so concerned about the american public not knowing what fascism and communism is

I am happy it doesn’t burn thousands of billions; and hundreds of millions every tear in upkeep so that maybe urbanization stops and people move back to the countryside

I wonder why your source doesn’t state the amount of people moved, I sure love dictatorships!

The issue specifically is that there is no population centres in which these unprofitable lines run through

And no, government don’t and should burn thousands billions; and hundreds of millions in upkeep every year because what if maybe urbanization stops and people for whatever reason move back to the countryside

How is you and 48 other people asking whether high ways are profitable relevant? I said I used profitibility as a metric of its usage as trains meant to transport an absolute fuck ton of people

And why do you only have an issue with the topic you started when it turns out that you lied?

Building a fast rail for tourism is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard; you actually have to produce something worthwhile for ec growth

Where did you shit that number? The whole system, and we are only talking about the underused lines, “only” transport 500k ppl a day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_China)

On average, state and local governments collect roughly 10 percent of oil and gas of their revenue (https://www.rff.org/publications/journal-articles/us-state-and-local-oil-and-gas-revenue-sources-and-uses/)

If facts are not on our side lets make them up

And it’s possible to technically birth hegdehogs, not that you should

Will not repeat myself, please read the comment you commented under

1. By your own outline a high speed rail is not the right fit, the already existing rail lines/ long term busses already met the needs of the areas! As for your second question countries limited resources, china could have spent all that money that it is currently burning maintaining the lines at a loss + astronomical amounts it burned to construct the lines to say transition to renewables

2. Cannot imagine where you live, but thats not true in Hungary, and I very much so doubt it as its not true for the 2 examples I looked up (germany and england)! Its so not true in fact as the treasury of hungary treats as income (usable for any and all purposes)

Which part of the

I don’t think public transportation needs to be profitable at all

is misunderstandable? I used profitibility as a metric of usage as trains, especially high speed ones meant to transport a fuck ton of people; which I also wrote down

I am going to regret asking, but could you elaborate?

1. Don’t think high ways should exist
2. Roads are profitable for the rel heavy taxes laid on drivers

1. Rural area are dying out everywhere as jobs are in cities

2. Government meet needs not create them and that really should not change

1 Yes, I would hold high roads as they are comperatively a more expensive investment meant for a larger volume of transportation.

2 China is state capitalist, but for its dictatorial nature there is no accountability so there is no after effect of such a colossal fuckup
