If HSR was such an economic boon and powerhouse, those who support it the strongest would have zero hesitation putting their own money into it as an investment.
The fact that NOT ONE HSR SUPPORTER worldwide has done so, speaks VOLUMES. Look at the Pacific Northwest "Cascadia Rail" bulls--- - the fact that Microsoft could literally pay for HSR with CASH in its bank accounts (leaving its billions and billions of illiquid assets untouched), but refuses to spend a single penny... The fact Amazon, Boeing, Intel, Nike...not ONE large Pacific Northwest corporation will spend a penny on it, and in fact they all want massive tax cuts.
