        What problem are you solving by

        build high speed rail next to freeways only because it would make drivers feel like complete losers all the time

        ?

        People suffer from not optimal train route and see it as they drive on a highway

          You are seizing on a specific part of a post that was making a joke and fixating on that one thing, which is why people are dunking on you.

        I want transportation system to be improved for people's welldom and without trying to impose any views sacrifiing quality in the process

        "See these losers on train? They built 20% longer route only because they wanted to make passagers see losers on highway"

          You are in a room where everyone already agrees that high speed rail is good.

          Someone makes a (very fucking obvious) joke about how high speed rail is so good we should build them next to highways to make carbrains jealous.

          You: um actually we shouldn't try to make people feel bad. Making people jealous is bad policy decision. Doing that would make the train less efficient too.

          Everyone else in the room: yes we know you joyless nerd.

        I oppose the inital idea of building high speed rail line next to a highway with only goal of making drivers feel bad on purpose as I dont see shitting on a minor group of radicals a meaningful way of helping whole society
