    Trump, a very stable genius knows high speed rail is a good idea. I am extremely against high speed rail as an antifa leftist.

    Trump supporters haven’t figured out we don’t just oppose them blindly, it’s just almost all terrible ideas.

    Throw a good idea out there like a high speed train, and we have no problem supporting it, because non-Maga are generally well adjusted humans capable of reasoning.

    I half remember something like that happening in Brazil. The right proposes something the left approves, there’s no fight, they realize their mistake and start opposing their own idea.

    If trump managed to build effective high speed rail that goes coast to coast, hits more than just NYC and LA, and is affordable, I think history would probably end up forgiving him for a lot of shit.

    Never gonna happen though.

          Only Arbeit is capitalized and its the only noun.

          In german the capitalisation of words sometimes changes the meaning of the:

          macht (from the verb machen, to do/make) Macht (as a verb means force/power/might)

          I saw this double meaning several times, like the title of an art exibition: Geld Macht Kunst ( money, power, art or money makes art)

      200mph is pretty good. That’s 320 kph. IIRC, China’s high speed rail has a max speed of 350kph, often cruising at 300kph.
