<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>But the story isn't aimed at railfans or railroaders. It is aimed at investors and stockholders. The mechanics of the problem mean nothing. Chance ofl losing or making money is what matters to the readers... [/quote]</p> <p>You seem to disparage the notion that a business should earn a profit. </p> <p>Amtrak is a commercial enterprise that competes with commercial airlines and commercial bus companies for passengers. </p> <p>Profit motivated businesses create the wealth base from which taxes to support government activities are drawn. If profits are eliminated, who do you think would pay the taxes that governments use to amongst other things under write Amtrak?</p>
