But somehow we're supposed to believe them when they tell us we live in the Best Country In The World™*. They always forget the asterisk.
*Terms and conditions apply. "Best" is not a representation of universal experience; your experience may vary. Human rights abuse likelihood subject to change without notice, see Whitehouse.gov for details.
And the most free country in the wold #Freedom
Free to not have any vacation days, free to be bankrupted by medical debt, free to be fired from work because the shareholders can make even more money by having less employees, free to vote for one of two political parties with no real other choice.
Do these guys not count because Florida? I know it's not as impressive as China's efforts, but it's something.
Looks like it's because it's labeled as a Higher-Speed Rail rather than High-speed.
Wow, talk about something intentionally named to be confusing and misleading.
It was originally meant to be called "high'ish speed rail" but marketing department made some tweaks
I'm gonna call it "sparkling regional train".

200 km/h does not HSR make. You gotta crack at least 250 for that
lol the comment section is atrocious, Americans have no answers.
Shouldn't the blue bar be shown in miles?
Mostly no, because they should be on the same scale. Not that it matters here.
Joke's on you! If the chart was in miles it would be the other way around!
This is blatantly false, California has built high speed rail in that time.
no they havnt, its been hold for almost 10years due to musk and trump meddling both in his first term.
Hundreds of miles have been constructed since 2008. The project just hasn’t been finished yet. This graph and you are wrong.
Really, none? Is there a source for this OP?
