26·6 days agoCapitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their use for the purpose of obtaining profit. This socioeconomic system has developed historically through several stages and is defined by a number of basic constituent elements: private property, profit motive, capital accumulation, competitive markets, commodification, wage labor, and an emphasis on innovation and economic growth.

In the context of “Why do Americans think everything has to profit?”, then the point is that the train is considered only for the profit it can make, and not for the environmental etc benefits. This is a result of the market economy as you rightly state (and private ownership of transportation).
Because that’s the foundation and definition of capitalism. The market will provide (as long as there’s profit to be made).
Not saying it’s right though.
Looks like the joystick is out of reach for now.

And I withdrew into my bedchamber, and lay down, for it was night. But the cat, seeing that I had lain down in my bedchamber, forgot all the kindness of his master and cried out: “Arise and feed me, for I am hungry and thirsty!” And he thrust his paws into mine eye, and drew his voice nigh unto mine ear. And wrath was kindled in my heart. I stretched forth mine hand and took up my slipper, that I might smite the cat. And the cat saw that I had opened mine eyes, and rejoiced, and began to fawn upon me and sing praises unto my glory. And I took pity on the cat in my heart, for he hath no understanding in his head. And I rose up from my couch, and went into the kitchen, and poured more food into his bowl, a double measure.
Fyi there were no results.
Good to see that the law is fair, just, and applied equally to all. /s

“Sometimes, you know, stealth, they do stealth,” Trump said. “I’m not a huge believer in stealth, because stealth is basically, a lot of it’s the design and the shape. … You’re going to design an ugly plane for stealth reasons. And then six months later, they’re going to figure out this, and then you’re stuck with a plane.”
Trump’s new stance on stealth differed from remarks he made during his first administration, when he repeatedly extolled the F-35’s stealth capabilities.
“You can’t see it,” Trump said in 2017. “You literally can’t see it. It’s hard to fight a plane you can’t see.”
Heh, they’re there for the shareholders.
