I got my information by listening to complete speeches by both individuals, going back several years. Regardless of Trump being yoyr enemy and Harris your friend, neither is capable of doing what they say.

It occurred to me a long time ago, that because I am interested in a mixed economy and a fair political system, that many thought I was a liberal. I am not and never habe been. Nor am I a conservative. These are not the only two perspectives in the world.

You talk sbout Trump looking sad. What has Trump looking sad got to do with the fact that his diction has improved, and he no longer says words like cofefe?

Other countries build and continue to build massive rail systems accross huge areas - ever been to China or Russia or Canada. You have bern extremely misinformed.

It's not that it cannot be done. It is that America is too shortsighted to do it. About a decade ago, China completed a rail system ftom China tto Spain. Several sleeper trains have just bern completed in Europe. There is a train system right accross Canada, and Canada is far less populated than America. I can assure you that if America could put a man on the moon in 1969 and if the British Empire could build a rail system from Cape to Cairo in the 19th Century, it is technologically possuble to fo it.

You are hearing what you want to hear. You are concerned about short term things. I am looking at the longer term - 10, 20, 50 years in the future, and there is no such thinking going on. There is no preparation for the climate disasters already taking place.

In fact, it's laughable that anyone thinks that electric cars and eradicating the beef industry is going to prevent any further damage.

Dream on. 2030 is comimg to a city near you soon. And next time you are so willing to listen to a politucian's words, make sure you have checked out her track record thoroughly.
