here you go:
we are so great at everything so sometimes our greatness (capitalism) becomes our weakness (railroads owned by many different companies
and they compete against each other as a result consumers suffer) so there is no way out of this because government is not going do anything
because it’s on payroll from those companies and the companies enjoining the current state of things and making $$$$.
So here are few more excuses why railroad sux in US, but it sounds like it’s nobody's fault,
because america is so great so it's ALWAYS number one! Always!
Even when it knee deep in doo-doo.
