gollark: But rail would be quite fast, possibly cheaper if you ignore the huge initial investment, and could ship cargo!
gollark: Consider: interstate travel by road is quite slow, thus making the US significantly more divided. Airports are faster, but also more expensive and not good for bulk goods, plus security queues make things slower.
gollark: Small brain: interstate highway system.Large brain: airports everywhere or something.Large glowy brain or something: interstate high-speed maglev railway.Galaxy brain: interstate suborbital rocket system.Transcendent universe brain: interstate passenger railgun.
gollark: I'd hope shadowy conspiracies would be better.
gollark: They're just evil government #124901724, governments do not appear to be very good at long term planning in general.
