        You dont want to solve any problem.

        What problem are you solving by smugly standing “in the middle” and snorting up your own farts here?

          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.
