The Orlando Airport thinks you should get to the airport four hours early, in which its top destination is Atlanta 400 miles away, which could be done with high speed rail in 3 hours. I’m going to crash out.

We are not going to compete with China on a global economic and geopolitical stage when they have 26,000 miles of this and we have 40.

Texas has “4 of the top 10” biggest cities in the country and yet doesn’t have high speed rail that looks like this:

🚨 Texas now has 4 of the 10 largest cities in America — more than any other state — and 5 of the 12 largest. In the last year, Fort Worth passed Jacksonville and Austin passed San Jose chicagotribune.com/2026/05/1… #txlege #tx2026

A few years ago I rode the KTX highspeed train from Seoul, South Korea to Daegu and Buson. It was amazing. Don’t believe the liars trying to discredit high speed rail. Other countries are decades ahead of North America.

The third-busiest domestic air route is Atlanta to Orlando. If high-speed rail connected the two, it could link them in 3 hours via Jacksonville, shorter than current TSA wait times. Just saying.

Welcome to Atlanta, where you need to arrive three+ hours early for a two hour flight.
