look like climate change/gobal warming (whatever you want to call it)
is getting pretty real
getting pretty hot here in wisconsin
usually i can go with the fan
but now the AC is usually always up too


hear me out

you will still get to the places where you are going
probably not the freedom that you are use too
but the good thing is
these bullet train will get you there faster than ever
environment friendly.
you can schedule all your ride, think UBER
might have to share with a stranger but whatever

no more 2 hours traffic stuck in LA


Edit:

I’m thinking a free taxpayer public transportation
No more first class, private jet, cars, bus,etc... 
that’s all just wasteful

i'll say.  people buy cars/trucks for different reasons.  some, they'll buy it to use it from point a to point b.  for others, they buy to admire.

it's not rocket science

oil/gas are not infinite
it will run out one day
that is almost certainly
might not be in your lifetime
but maybe your kids's kids's kids


blowing $50 worth of gas on a truck, that you drive to work and back
is unstainable

That is like saying I'm vegan but if you feed me meat, I'll eat it.  As long as I'm not feeding myself.

We will need more public transit to accommodate the large amounts of people who still needs to move around.  You didn't solve the ozone issue.  You just make it more difficult for the common person to travel from point a to b.

So, if I get rid of my car and take public transportation instead, the public authority will give me a mansion by the lake so I can fish in order not to have to put my fishing equipment on public transportation vehicles then?

Just live by the beach or lake

Oil/gas are not infinite
It’s going run out one day

Couples weeks ago trump was begging the Saudi
To pump more, to reduce US gas prices

We can continue eating shrimp and drinking beer
And act like everything is fine


Or....

Don’t you live in the SF area??
You of all people should support those bullet train
And Elon musk tube travel thing
That gets you to places fast
...

I got stuck in an hour travel there
When I visit

Public transportation will reduce traffic
Less cars=less traffic

In my public transportation

You can take anything, you want
Also no more first class
Everyone get the same leg room

Also no more single trip to Florida
On private jet
That’s wasteful
You spending all that gas to Florida

When you can just JetBlue
Who cares if you can afford

It’s wasteful

a day late and a dollar short as usual as some people have been doing public transportation for years so it could work for some depending on their situation.

now if you leech by living in "mommy's basement" and defraud the poor's public resources then you may not even need a car.

and also there's no such things as "free" as someone still has to pay for it i.e., tax payers but I don't expect someone that has no shame stealing from the poor's public resource to comprehend that..

1000 wheels by car or 1000 wheels by bus, which is more or less pollution?

1000 cupic of ozone nasty = to another 1000 cubic of nasty so what have you solve?

Try taking the Greyhound bus.  3 hours from my place to Reno takes 5 hours.  That bus needs to go to every city that has their bus depot just to drop off and pick up passengers. 

I did not Born just to waste my time like that.

Of course not, but how many families can a lake accommodate and still has enough room for boat launches?

Hmmm...it's not impossible to live by the beach or lake. I live two blocks from the beach, parents comes over all the time to fish at the pier. They just store their fishing equipment in my garage, then haul their fishing equipment on a wagon down to the pier whenever they visit.
