The US just can't admit their shortcomings
Indeed ... that's probably the societal version of the individual point made in post #61, above?

It was implicit in the words "We were barely affected here".
In a conversation about America, in which no specific location has been mentioned, people will naturally take the word "here", in a response, to refer to America.
Glad to hear that Orange County is bucking the national trend, though: that's hugely relevant both to me and to the irrefutable point I made.
What do I care about the recession! We were barely affected here. Property values did not even falter here. You only feel the burn if you live in a low to middle income area.
I think some part Nationalisation has legs.
Atilla, do you think your beloved Lib Dems will rise like a phoenix from its ashes to become a merged party with the the bulk of fleeing panicked Labour MPs after the Corbyn self-immolation?

If Corbyn gets in a lot of the City of London financial businesses would take fright and go to Paris, New York etc.
But still, it takes a little explaining (especially to a foreigner) why a return train ticket from London to Cornwall or Scotland should cost more than a return flight from London to New York.
Nobody wants to take the train for such a journey. Not enough to make it worthwhile. Nobody ever wanted to take the train for such a journey, its just that pre-cars and pre-airlines, there was no choice. If trains had been invented after cars, they woudn't have been.
You miss the point. It's about cost not direct trains/railway track.
Cornwall to London to Inverness etc.
Your reasoning doesn't explain why popular routes are so expensive either.
