Sweden is a huge, sparsely populated country. High speed trains might work in some places in Europe. Sweden needs more short-haul flights and better highways.
Says you - you bourgeois, aristocrat, urban elite, moderate.
You’re getting high speed trains and you’ll damn well like them, if I have any say.
I love traveling by train but it’s a waste of tax money.

I was a Young Moderate in the ’80s. The most radical, anti establishment thing you could be back then.
Lol, did you wear a blazer and shirt and tie in class just to make a point? My older brother was in "Venstres Ungdom" in the 80's, and he alternated by dressing as a "businessman" or some Miami Vice character when going to class amongst students wearing those huge unisex sweaters and jogging pants.
Pretty much. I went for the Miami Vice look. Living in a working class town I had grown men spitting after me in the streets. good times.

Ironic that it ends with an SJ floating over a symbol that looks like a W.
SJW indeed!
SJ = Statens Järnvägar = The State’s Railroads. Our version of Muh roads.
Hadn’t thought about that before. Fitting. Welcome to Sweden!
The pitch still makes no sense.
We need high speed trains so feminists can be cyber-bullied on them?
We need high speed trains so impressionable girls can meet immature adults and learn to follow the same path?
We need high speed trains so we can film commercials in high speed trains?
What was the point? It’s like some college student director got so obsessed with the cinematography and tear-jerking music that they forgot to include the message.

Everyone is welcome. Some more than others.
