UK rapidly expands high speed rail network

[HitRed]

Pack Rat said Canada during the Great Depression had, “no policing of Banks” and “had strong regulations on Banks.”

Spoiler

The USA strongly regulated. Over regulated to the point it put banks at risk.

Spoiler

Canada was more liaises-faire. It was one of the least regulated banking systems in the history of the world.

We rode Amtrak from Sacramento California to Tukwilla Washington.

Pros:

• Seat pitch, plenty of room everywhere including in the Coach car, huge comfortable seats with plenty of leg room even for Mrs dimes and Jr who's around 6'5".
• Food was good.
• We got roomettes for most of the journey, bottom bunk was quite nice. Top bunk was a bit claustrophobic inducing but still a bed.
• No pre boarding X-ray and they didn't seize my beer or sealed container of frito's bean dip.

Cons:

• Price.
• restroom in coach was kind of nasty.
• Not being high speed rail made the trip pretty long almost 24 hours with a stop over in Portland.

At Sea-tac airport pre boarding security they threw out my bean dip after I was forced to get X-rayed. Obvious power moves to put me in my place. Frito's bean dip is not a liquid.
