Joe Biden was pitching his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan today by saying he’s going to build a 600 mph. train that isn’t funded in his infrastructure plan. Also, the technology for such a thing doesn’t exist nor will it ever exist. Hey, that’s okay because Biden’s infrastructure plan has almost nothing to do with infrastructure so why should he bother discussing what’s actually in it?
Infrastructure is stuff like roads, bridges, and ports. Less than 5% of Biden’s $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan is for those things. 0% of the money goes to pay for these things that Biden said will happen if Congress passes his dogshit socialist spending package:
“What we’re really doing is raising the bar on what we can imagine. Imagine a world where you and your family can travel coast to coast without a single tank of gas on a high-speed train close to as fast as you can go across the country in a plane,” said Biden.
Commercial airliners have a top speed of about 575 mph. The fastest train on the planet is the SCMaglev in Japan, which goes around 267 mph or less than half as fast as passenger jets. If trains could go faster, they would but the technology isn’t there and it won’t be there. Nobody in their right mind would try to make a rocket-powered train.
Speaking of people who aren’t in their right mind, in addition to this nearly 600 mph train Biden claims he’s building, he also has plans for an impossible airplane:
“I tell the kids, the young people who work for me, tell my kids when I go on college campuses: they’re going to see more change in the next 10 years than we’ve seen in the last 50 years. We’re going to talk about commercial aircraft flying at subsonic speeds — supersonic speeds,” Biden said.
Well which is it? We can already travel at subsonic speeds. Subsonic means slower than the speed of sound, which is 761 mph. I achieved subsonic speed on my bicycle today. I achieved subsonic speed sitting on my fat ass and drinking a beer last night.
“To be able, figuratively, if you may, if we decide to do it, traverse the world in about an hour, travel 21,000 miles an hour. So much is changing and we have got to lead it,” said Biden.
The circumference of the Earth is 24,901 miles so to circle the globe in an hour this pane would have to to travel at 24,901 mph. Also, you can stay where you are without out wasting an hour flying. What exactly is the purpose of flying around the world to end up where you were when you left?
The SR-71 Blackbird flies at around 2,100 mph. An F-16 tops out at 3,017 mph. There’s certainly a lot of speed to make up for to get to Joe’s 24,901 mph “subsonic” passenger jets.
Rockets reach a speed of 24,200 mph to launch into space, but there’s a pretty good reason why everyone is not cut out to be an astronaut. Those g-forces are a bitch and most people would pass out and maybe die going that fast.
Also, and I can’t stress this enough, there is not one dime in Biden’s plan for 600 mph trains or 25,000 mph planes. They aren’t even mentioned in passing. Biden is trying to sell his infrastructure plan, which has very little to do with infrastructure, by touting things that aren’t in it or even possible. He is truly insane.
Lastly, watch this video. He is angry the entire time, yelling and scowling. People with dementia often get frustrated and are pissed off about everything. That’s where Joe Biden is at: crazy old dude shaking his fist and yelling at kids to get off his lawn.
