American democracy could be far more effective through the technocratic toolkit being deployed around the world in better-run countries. There are three things that the best governments do well: Respond efficiently to citizens' needs and preferences, learn from international experience in devising policies, and use data and scenarios for long term planning. If done right, such governments marry the democratic inclusiveness with the effectiveness of technocratic management. The ideal type of government that results is what I call a 'direct technocracy'.
- Parag Khanna (Technocracy in America, Createspace, pg. 52, 2017)

Day 4 of attempting to be the @amtrak-official understudy:
Sure, people talk about "high-speed rail" this, "high-speed rail" that, but where's my medium-speed rail gang at? Maybe I just want to take the time to enjoy the journey, let the scenery move me, see where the tracks take me...
But the freight train delays can still fuck off.

i'm sorry čd but the whole concept of having high speed capable locomotives and then only running them at slightly higher speeds than standard locomotives is beyond parody to me.

Biden administration announces largest passenger rail investment since Amtrak creation
President Biden on Friday is announcing $8.2 billion in new funding for 10 passenger rail projects nationwide, representing the largest federal investment in passenger rail transportation since Amtrak was created in 1971.  
-----
The $3 billion in new federal funding for the Las Vegas-Los Angeles rail line is about a third of the total projected cost of the new Brightline West train line, which is projected to be finished before the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The company touts the train on its website as the "first true high-speed passenger rail system in the nation."
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg told reporters the rail line is expected to carry 11 million passengers at its peak, and the total trip will take about two hours — which is about half the time it takes to drive.  
Other passenger rail projects that will receive funding include a Los Angeles-San Francisco train that will reach 220 miles per hour, a rail expansion between Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia, and other upgrades in Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana and other states.
