The real reason America has no high-speed rail has absolutely nothing to do with geography or technology. It is the result of a single lobbying contract worth $400 million signed in 1955. You are told the country is just "too big" or too spread out for bullet trains.
That is a fabricated lie. The American automotive and oil cartels literally bought the government to systematically remove public transit. They ripped up existing rail networks and paved over the nation to guarantee people would rely on cars, insurance, and fuel just to participate in society.
