Has anyone tried pitching high speed rail to the 65+ crowd like this before?

This would have been so useful for Eddy

- This was the video that led me to Eddy Burback. He's an excellent youtuber.

  I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Ted and Eddy would have been very happy with this

- Seriously though, did Youtube recommend us all that video?

  I think so and to be fair, it was a BANGER.

  I mean, I watched it because I was already subbed

Do you think they dyed all their margaritas black in mourning?

21
- Oh god, I don't think I could drink that.

If you could get the over 65 set to realize the rail lines will help them get somewhere when their kid is at work, they might go for it.

But I'm not sure.

- I wish we could normalize it everywhere. I think most people would like trains, but only if they didn't have to also drive and park at a station, which is how so much of the country is set up now.

  Guarantee that every trip will have a Bullet Train scenario going on and I'm down

- Yeah but hilariously they'll all be dead before it's finished.

  A society grows great when old men plant tree they will not sit in the shade of.

Fuck the West, I guess.

- Who would ever need to travel from Seattle to LA?
  
  14
- No margaritas for you, only work.

Maaaaaaaaatttttlllloooooccccckkkk expressway

- Probably likely to get more riders than the Murder, She Wrote Express.

It's closed to being truly based. You just need to add the Mexican coast express down to the one in the Cancún Airport, and then you're gold.

Alternatively, you could build the sickest bridge known to man, but Cuba might take offense to that. Who knows.

11
- Gonna need some bridges anyways, if were going to connect the Caribbean locations.

  Naturally. We'd be able to defeat a lot of flying in the process. This is just becoming more based by the minute.

Rail travel is notably NOT the Parrothead preferred mode of transportation.

- Yeah, surprisingly a cruise ship could hit most locations with a short bus trip.

We already have 3 of the 4 high speed margarita rails in Florida (no need for one in Key West)

No stop in Branson? They'll never go for it.

Honestly, this is dumb enough to work...

Get drunk and physically abuse your wife in more than 10 locations!

Where's the Syracuse Margaritaville at the Destiny USA mall?

this is basically a population map.

omg, it's a joke.

- Except Tulsa has a stop and there’s no Denver.

- Lol wut?

Screw the Pacific Northwest in particular lol

- Get a Margaritaville, then we'll talk infrastructure
  
  9
- And the mid-mid West. They apparently don't exist

  Oh I'm from Chicago, I can confirm that. There's no such thing as the mid-Midwest.

I really think things like this could work.

Medford has a margaritaville
