We could all use something beautiful in our lives:
Is an ultra high speed rail service along the entire length of our Western states feasible?
I'm talking running a train from near our Canadian border to our Mexican border. Is something like that feasible?
The benefits to such a train would go a long way towards relieving the housing crisis in our Western cities, Seattle, Portland, SF, LA, SD, etc. as it would give people more options on where they can live and still commute to work. The HSR would stop at transportation hubs where people could take other means of public transport, buses, trains, etc., to get them to their place of work.
It would also be good for the environment as there would be less flights along our West coast.

My winter utility bills are down by 75% from last year, and I live in NYC.
We did not have one major snow storm. My colleague bought a new snow blower a year ago, and he hasn't even used it yet.
But I guess this is just a Chinese hoax.
Dying of Whiteness podcast: "Because Tennessee didn't do the [Medicaid] expansion..."
In the U.S., the last time that life expectancy went down three years in a row was 1915 to 1918. And what was happening then were two things, World War I and the global flu pandemic that killed 50 million people, including 650,000 Americans.
