President Joe Biden is reportedly seeking to revive a project that would construct a high-speed railway from Houston to Dallas in Texas utilizing Japanese bullet trains.
According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, citing unnamed administration sources, the White House is looking to make an announcement on the project following talks between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington, D.C., this week.
The Japanese government and the White House declined to comment on the report, though the project has seen renewed support from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who told KXAS in Fort Worth on Sunday: “We believe in this.”

First of all
, they’ll probaby embezzle all the money and have nothing to shie for it 10 years from now - if it even gets that far.But second, Houston to Dallas? Who wants that? Most people in Houston would rather build a wall around Dallas to keep them out

The people who commute regularly between them. Planes are expensive and TSA makes it more time consuming.
But have you considered that Dallas sucks?
fair, but some parts of the city look nice
I can’t forgive running light rail every 20 minutes though
Its in Texas. What else would you expect?
Houston to Dallas? Who wants that?
so quite a few people apparently.
I get it. I used to live in Houston and its kind of a joke about how much people in Houston hate Dallas and people from there
It doesn’t even make the top ten busiest US domestic route list
Yeah but a lot of those busiest ones are already covered by the Northeast Corridor for trains
the only good things about joe biden and pete buttigieg: they like trains.

me too. i should give them some.
put the expensive new train in Texas of all states
train fails because it’s not a truck with nuts on it
“You just can’t do trains in America, guys.”
lmao sure thing joe
if we can light up an auditorium, we can build a bullet trainDoubt
and now you know why the pedomobile man

It’s because “bullet “
Unironically would play on that shit if I were supreme dictator of US or Texas or whatever. Anything it takes to get some fucking infrastructure built (sorta).
The routes will just be named after guns. Line AR-15 to the airport. Line G-19 to Dallas. Line M16 is closed for maintenance
yeah im taking the
mass tactical transport vehicle
Not hog enough, we gotta rebrand it to the Gun Train.
The only way Texas is going to get a bullet train is if Trump - for whatever reason - suddenly starts saying all the time how much he loves bullet trains. I think the chance of that happening is about 1 in 1,000,000.

Edit
“Brad Pitt is a liberal.” Boos and some hissing. “But wait. There’s a Brad Pitt bullet train movie called Bullet Train.” Mild confused booing. “I liked it. I liked it. And I thought - why doesn’t America have a single mile of bullet train? Why?” Somebody yells out “Yeah, why!” And Trump gets serious “See? When I win president for the third time - I want bullet trains. Cars best. It’s true. It’s true. Very best. Everybody loves cars. But I want lots and lots of bullet trains…”
It’s possible that if he meets with Kim Jong Un again, he can redpill Trump on trains and he comes back to America wanting to build the best trains.
Quick, someone get him a copy of the movie Bullet Train but label it Bloodsport
I made an edit - https://hexbear.net/comment/4816406
Or Bloodsport and label it Bullet Train. Either one will work, really; the man’s brains are tapioca pudding laced with German Sudafed and Twitter clapbacks at this point.
Or any of his favorite movies: https://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/donald-trumps-favorite-movies/
Totally normal list of movies made by a human person who definitely watches movies and is not actually a reptile in a mammalian skinsuit.
this will never happen, the US isn’t capable of building anything anymore
well yeah. that’s where he has his camps.
If it ever had the chance of happening it would be good since Texas has some of the fastest growing areas in the country. Ultimately it probably won’t get built.
“Governor, we would like $20 billion for a bullet-”
“SAY NO MOREN YEEEEEE HAWWWWWW” firing guns into air
This fits the dems playbook perfectly. You promise something you know you can’t deliver on. Then you put a high profile person in position of power to make it seem like you are serious about fixing said problem. don’t do anything your whole term, probably make it worse and then when it comes time for election season make a grandiose promise that you also won’t keep if you get re elected, but hey it sounds good right?
