The US simply needs to get things started with HSR. It's a vast country so it doesn't have to go everywhere but do build where the terrain makes it possible.
To be fair, I am easily amused. Once I am on autopilot out on the open road I can be entertained with just about anything to look at. Wow that's a cool fencepost. Huh, I wonder what material that sign is made out of? Bet these crops look cool from the air. What are those red and blue lights and why are they behind me?
