Inmobility

Why do Americans accept an intercity transportation system that fails completely in winter weather?

Why should travelers be faced with total and complete inability to complete interstate travel?

Would a transportation system that might lose some capacity during a winter storm be preferable to one that ceases to exist for days at a time?

Would such a system contribute to economic activity rather than impede it?

The Airline industry has been inmobile and incapable of any travel performance for an inordinate number of days in January and February.
