Where passenger rail makes the most sense Amtrak owns their own tracks (with a couple exceptions) and they still can't figure out how to run great service.

Maybe it’s just because Americans are idiots who can’t do things right, then.

Americans are humans. We are not smarter or dumber than any other human. We might be stupid in different ways from you, but those are subtitle variations and mostly about people (everyone) ignoring how they are stupid.

I am, unfortunately, an American. Though not by choice.

And compared to other countries we are far stupider.
