Plans are reportedly being revived for a high-speed rail link utilizing Japanese trains running between Houston and Dallas.

President Joe Biden is reportedly seeking to revive a project that would construct a high-speed railway from Houston to Dallas in Texas utilizing Japanese bullet trains.

According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, citing unnamed administration sources, the White House is looking to make an announcement on the project following talks between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington, D.C., this week.

The Japanese government and the White House declined to comment on the report, though the project has seen renewed support from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who told KXAS in Fort Worth on Sunday: “We believe in this.”

    I could see that. Although, I do wonder when the party will be too far gone for the corporate billionaires to have any control left.

      If you consider folks like Musk and Gates to be the modern corporate Pied Pipers, I might argue that it’s their increased control that’s driving people crazy
