They don’t know each other; they live 60 miles apart; and, at least on the surface, Carrie Blough and Karen Allen don’t have much in common. But ask them about their journeys to and from their jobs every day, and their stories converge in a shared narrative of commuter hell.

Some of us have been saying it for decades that we need to build new high-speed rail lines in the United States, especially in the Boston to DC corridor, but the argument has always been that it's too expensive for the government to invest in and would not be a profitable venture for private companies. But these same people never seem to have a problem signing blank checks for a Pentagon budget that's over a trillion dollars a year now when you combine the military and the entire national security/ intelligence system that's in place. Why is that ?
