- Pilot 1: [makes a suggestion]
- Pilot 2: Whoa! You’re going off the reservation. And we don’t need Elizabeth Warren to tell us what a bad idea that is.

Well under one scenario that has its rosy fingers wrapped tightly around the dawn, precious few people will care about what Pilot 1 and Pilot 2 say ten years from now, because air travel will be unnecessary. And if air travel is unnecessary, there’s no need for the FAA, at least not at anywhere near its current size. Same thing with a lot of airports, I guess. Who needs ’em? We don’t need Boeing either. Or anybody else associated with all those unnecessary airplanes.
Think of all the things Daley had to do to attract Boeing to Chicago – that’s all down the drain ten years from now. And that money will be repurposed into giving everyone a government job rebuilding every single building in the United States. Instead of teaching people how to fly airplanes and helicopters, you might be teaching them how to ride the train. But that’s going to be so easy!
Comrade Alex, I can’t wait to take a high speed train to our nearest socialist country, Cuba!
Me neither! I’ve always wanted to ride in an underwater train! And besides, Comrade Toucan, not to worry: if the light rail line from the mainland to the island turns out to be an impractical contrivance, we should remember: Neither planes nor trains were needed needed during the Mariel boat lift! And if one attaches oars to the vessels, people can paddle, and not even gasoline or diesel fuel is truly necessary!
Also, in a somewhat different sense, Comrade Toucan, if any of that should ever come to pass, Cuba will definitely not be “our nearest” Socialist country. America will be (I’ll leave aside for the moment whether Mexico or Canada are.)
In fact it’s debatable whether it already is — even at this moment! I give 50/50 odds that the next logical step to advance this agenda will be for people like Senator Warren to begin saying things like: “America is already a Socialist country in some ways – we’re not ashamed of that – but we have only just begun. The people haven’t realized all the benefits yet because we have been prevented from finishing what we started.”
Comrades, there is a good chance you both are going to help with the people’s railroad to our glorious future! Be proud, be ready!
There are precedents, just like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salekhard%E2%80%93Igarka_Railway
Notice the build quality of the track! And it’s not even underwater, just on top of the permafrost.
@Comrades, to join the Warren revolution and free civilization from the oppressed elite, you will first need to learn how Warren made her mark and fortune for her to become an elite. Here are some links to get you started [1], [2], [3]
