It is now five years later and the disparity between the US and China in this respect has only gotten worse. But hey, that’s a good thing right?

Ruthless efficiency- trains work and don’t take two extra hours for private freight monopolies to run their unsafe trains with priority on the same century-old tracks.
Trains running on time is totalitarian.
There’s a joke about Germans in here
Trust me, i can tell you from first hand experience there is no danger of that kind of totalitarianism in today’s Germany. Since DB was semi-privatized our train schedules have become more free and democratic than ever. Sometimes there is so much democracy that the train doesn’t even come at all. But we can still improve on this because it’s not fully privatized yet and according to econ PhDs: “Privatization May Result in Poorer Service, and That’s Good”
Yes, that is what I was referring to. Thank you for more information, though!
