Feder explains how he came to the conclusion that interest should be abolished.

Hadding – Totally agree with you. I was just throwing in a few minor points. Amtrak could certainly be made more effective, I wasnt seeking to detract from the points you made, sorry if that how it seemed.

@Lurker Passenger rail services used to depend on mail to make them profitable. Amtrak certainly would be far less unprofitable (and even profitable, I believe) if the government required the Postal Service to use Amtrak to the extent feasible.

Very minor point – Arriva in the UK is not strictly a railroad. Its a rail operating business, the railway track/infrastructure are owned by the government and Arriva (and others) use that track to operate on. Its nit picky of me but a railroad implies a company that owns both the track and runs the trains. But yes, Arriva is now owned by DB.

Amtrak was mentioned by Hadding and thats in fact 180 degrees opposite. Amtrak is a government owned rail operating entity but it pays to run on tracks owned largely by the private railroad corporations. Thats probably one explanation for why Amtrak isnt profitable – effectively its a conduit for federal funds to subsidize the railroad corporations. Amtrak also takes on the pension obligations for defunct railroad. ie its not designed to profitable, thats not its real function.

I dont think support for Amtrak is totally cynical corporate welfare, the US government probably wants to maintain a minimum level of railroad mileage for strategic reasons and Amtrak is the public face of that.

“I seem to have been mistaken”

Damn it all, Hadding. Did you have to come out with this just when I had made such a brilliant start on my theory of Esoteric Federism?

I seem to have been mistaken when I said that Feder’s focus as an engineer was in electrical engineering. He seems to have been involved in construction of buildings and ships.

As an act of contrition, I confess an admiration for the biblical account of a righteous man who attacked the money changers as the root of all evil.

This is not to claim that money is more important than media, but that it IS the media.

At $64,000, that question was practically a gimme, but I do confess and apologize for attempting to lead you into anti-Christian comment by unfairly characterizing the work as “mind control propaganda”.

The money shot was, of course, “Gutenberg Bible”.

As a consolation prize, I’m sending you $20 gift certificate redeemable for merchandize of your choice at Doc Johnson Enterprises.

The question is extremely vague. I could only guess what you might have in mind.

“It really is the mass-media, not banks, that hold the ultimate power”

Alright then, if you insist, for $64,000, name the first piece of mind control propaganda produced by the mass-media.
