And roads/infrastructure... Imagine if we had a billionaire actually interested in building a useful, realistic rail system (emphasis on useful and realistic).
Elon Musk is into providing internet infrastructure to those in need. :p
I don't know if there's such a thing as a useful and realistic rail system in the US. They can't even manage a high-speed connection between LA and SF, let alone a national network that would attract people. There's a few places where train travel makes sense in the US (the NE corridor and Cali), but otherwise planes are the choice anyone and everyone is going for.
Oh, I don't think that billionaires should be building roads etc, that's the States job! Some useful Public Buildings, sure... Maybe the odd bridge etc....
Ah, yes... That great philanthropist Elon Musk... [lol]
Cars for short journeys, planes for long ones, trains for anything in between - especially for cargo. MUCH more efficient than road if done properly. Imagine Japanese style bullet trains across the Great Plains.... I'm sure that there's *some* routes out there that would be great choices for FAST rail. Not cheap though...!
