          Xi Jinping wants to rely less on coal because it’s profitable. Elon Mungus wants to transition to electric vehicles because he cares deeply about my well being, and he wants to reward my love for him. That’s the difference between the demonic communists and capitalists.

      You build a high speed rail endpoint somewhere, and development will happen there. That's what I always point out.

      That's why dense populations are always on rivers, because you can transport things along them easily. Trains are the same more or less.
