Years ago there was a plan to build TGV type trains here in Texas between Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. 3 of the 10 largest cities in the U.S. Southwest Airlines and their bought and paid for allies in the Texas state house made sure it never happened.

My father told me a story about how the auto companies in Detroit killed the street cars there back in the 50s and 60s.

It seems sometimes what's important to making people's lives easier, takes a backseat to corporate profits and politician's bank accounts.

It's the same reason private interests and their bought and paid for patsies in Congress and the Supreme Court are against the very notion of public financing of campaigns. That would eliminate the influence of the big money altogether.
