Shalom Jill,

High-speed rail is awesome, but I’d be happy with good ol’ fashion downtown-to-downtown service at 60 mph.

B’shalom,

Jeff

Shalom Jill,

That was the point the NPR story was trying to make.

I rooting for a return to rail travel.

B’shalom,

Jeff, Warren Buffett says that it’s worse than that and that if you go back to the very beginning of the entire airline industry you find that the industry has been a net loss for investors from the get go.

Shalom Jill, Short-term pain can result in long-term health. We can work towards that. Listening to All Things Considered yesterday I heard an astonishing figure. Over the last 30 years since deregulation, the airline industry, as a whole, has lost $13 billion. I think that tells us something about how our economy works. B'shalom, Jeff
