There was supposed to be a high speed rail line in Florida and Disney blocked it because it would stop at rival attractions

What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030

With the new structure, customers traveling from Philadelphia to New York can buy tickets starting at $19 if they choose the low-cost Value option or $21 if they want more flexibility. Previously a flexible ticket for the same trip would cost at least $128.A ticket to Boston from Philadelphia in coach could cost customers as low as $35 with thenew flexible option, whereas it used to cost $223.

So, as everyone knows, Walt Disney loved trains. He loved them so much he built a mini ridable train in his backyard and excitedly showed it to everyone that came over to his house. He made sure that in the theme parks, especially his futuristic utopia of EPCOT, the main way of getting around had to be trains. So, with this in mind,

WHY THE FUCK DIDNT DISNEY LOBBY THE US GOVERNMENT INTO HAVING A BETTER TRAIN SYSTEM!!!!?!???!?!!! The Federal-Aid Highway Act, arguably the start of today's god awful car and highway dependency, was passed in 1956. Walt died in 1966 (lung cancer cause he smoked a ton). This man had tons of influence over the country, having a fucking tv show where he addressed the audience and encouraged everyone watching to call him "Uncle Walt". He absolutely couldve used that social influence and played up his futurist idealism on that show or any other method of addressing the public to say HEY, CARS KINDA SUCK ACTUALLY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT DOESNT SUCK? MOTHAFUCKIN TRAINS!!!!!!!!!

Buuuuuut no, he had to be so involved with the theme parks, only really caring about creating a "futuristic society of tomorrow" when it was for his little company town idea.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
