    "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.
