          Yes. I thought high speed in Europe & Asia went over 200 mph? They're calling 81 mph high speed? Everyone knows USA Infrastructure needs major upgrades - we're not in 21st century. But Congress rather give 1.5 Trillion to very rich VS Infrastructure & immediate jobs!

          Is 10 minutes worth losing lives?? If your days are so crazy that saving a few minutes of commute then you NEED to change your life. Better to be late than dead.
