California takes first step in acquiring trains for High-Speed Rail::The California High-Speed Rail took another important step toward becoming reality Thursday after the governing body’s board of directors began the process of obtaining possible vendors for the state’s most ambitious transit project in history.
No other type of job creates more secondary jobs like manufacturing. Manufacturing is what created the American middle class with good paying jobs and gave millions upward mobility. Both are things that have been in jeopardy in this country for decades now. The whole goddamn point of growing a domestic high speed rail system is that would incentive future growth in fail travel, create good paying jobs and keep us from being endlessly dependent on foreign know-how.
I agree. If we don’t have the capability right now, then let’s create it. I can wait to see the project completed if the end result is long-term domestic prosperity in the working classes.
This is the type of thinking we’ve been neglecting in America, and look at the current state things… We need long-term thinking to replace short-term solutions.
Except that everyone wants instant gratification. Short term fixes that don’t solve long term problems. This is fast-food solutions… like empty calories that don’t fill you up, you’re left wanting seconds after you finish.
