    Trump, a very stable genius knows high speed rail is a good idea. I am extremely against high speed rail as an antifa leftist.

    Trump supporters haven’t figured out we don’t just oppose them blindly, it’s just almost all terrible ideas.

    Throw a good idea out there like a high speed train, and we have no problem supporting it, because non-Maga are generally well adjusted humans capable of reasoning.

      One is a passenger train, another is a freight train carrying hazardous materials. The risks are VERY different.

      Also, if you’re looking for something to blame for the East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment, look at lax regulations:

      Following the derailment, reaction and commentary focused on industry working conditions and safety concerns, including: the lack of modern brake safety regulations,[3] the implementation of precision scheduled railroading (PSR),[4] reduced railway workers per train, and increased train lengths and weight.

          If money laundering bankrupted casinos, then Las Vegas would be just another ghost town in the desert. It takes a special level of stupid to bankrupt a casino. Especially if you are using it to launder money.

            It was actually 4 casinos.

            https://news.temple.edu/news/2016-10-25/bankruptcy-expert-studies-trump-casinos

            Those Las Vegas casinos you are referring to are in compliance with money laundering laws. Trump’s were not.

            https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-fines-trump-taj-mahal-casino-resort-10-million-significant-and-long

            If you’re not taking in enough to cover the amount of money laundering you’re doing, you’ll end up with a loss on the books.

                  I get that, but my point was that some of the most corrupt, greedy, and murderous people in the history of the US managed to build an entire city out of nothing, in the middle of the desert, well away from anywhere. In a place that no same person would ever want to be for any reason, and they turned it into a destination for people from around the globe.
                  It wasn’t greed, corruption, or money laundering that bankrupted his casinos. It was unmitigated, weapons grade, stupidity and incompetence.

        How can you bankrupt a casino?

        All of Atlantic City basically collapsed on itself as Vegas siphoned away the high rollers.

        Trump thought he could buy into an old casino and revitalize it. But he’s Trump, so he did it all wrong and just got to ride the crash all the way into the dirt.

            Well, he thought running a casino was an easy way to print money. He threw a ton of investment at pastiche, bilked his builders, shortchanged his staff, and created a very glitzy slum.

            The Adelsons and the Wynns have been laundering money in the same way, but none of their casinos go belly up. They’re just as evil but far more competent.
