bump

unless those are 700,000 american jobs I doubt it'll happen

>>70723466
yes it is. 700,000 jobs in infrastructure.

japan will make money on exporting trains, US will make money on quality infrastructure.

WTF WE MAKE HIGH-SPEED TRAINS AS WELL
FUCK YOU JAPAN FOR TAKING ALL OF THE CAKE

This would be sweet

Won't happen. Protectionist "safety" regulations make it so we can't import Japanese or French trains at world market prices and have to make use domestically produced, astronomically priced ones instead.

that's where you're wrong kiddo. the US used high speed spanish trains a few years ago for an amtrak service.

now imagine the kinds of trains you get from a less lazy country like northern europe/japan.

>>70724081
That's why you have Hitachi or whoever build a factory in the US a la Toyota

why California? they hate trump

We already have foreign companies producing trains for the American market. They just need to conform to absurd regulations that don't exist anywhere else, so they can't get economies of scale for products that can be sold in America. Same thing will happen to a lot of things if we really do get a neo-protectionist trade regime from Trump
