True for some recreational travel, but Northeast Corridor is still pretty good for business travel where it would mostly be competing with driving for the DC-Philly-NYC portion. It's comfortable, plenty of room to work even in coach, a

I dunno, Google has made hugely important contributions to open source and the practice of software engineering in general. Would we have all that if it was purely government backed? Like Bell Labs, having an effective monopoly on a new tec
