I don't know if the hl actually influenced the development of the hsr, but that project itself wasn't enough. The USA sorely needs extensive and affordable passenger rail if we want to cut down on airline emissions

That's a terrible outlook. Mentally ill people (and in general the weakest in our society) still deserve representation, and there are no "vastly better" individuals. You're confusing education/health for inherent w

It was about representation in positions of influence (politics, corporate boards, laboratories), which I think we agree should attempt to reflect the distribution of the populations

With food the question is less about the individual stocks of produce and more about the land occupied to generate it and who owns it, which in a distressing amount of cases is single large landowners
