Unpopular indeed your opinion sucks the USA claims to be the wealthiest nation and the best and the most freedom unless you don't have a car or can afford to travel on planes. A high speed rail would eliminate a lot of pollution in theory and the government could run it this creating revenue

the USA is basically the prime area where high speed rail can exist and be seriously profitable.

This has to be a joke right? Your complaints about cars is that it takes forever and is 5 hours of driving which a high speed train would be better at... and scenery is bad for planes which a high speed train would be better at... Do you think you can't see scenery on a high speed train? I'm willing to bet you haven't ridden one.

I rode one in Europe. I know it's not like the fastest high speed network out there but u couldn't take in the view the same

That's because you like being on a train. I prefer driving everywhere plus I have my own car wherever I go.

Outside the Acela corridor rail options are nonexistent. Most longhaul Amtrak routes go only once a day with huge delays and wait times. Your argument cherry picks the absolute best case and ignores everyone else.
