In the 1800s, the railroads were built by industrialists and enabled the expansion of America...
...across the continent. Many people got on looking for a better way of life and more opportunities.
The railroad the idiot train of today runs on was built by billionaires. People are getting on because the billionaires have used their immense wealth to feed them lies about how great things will be when they make it to Moronsville--a company town created only to make the billionaires even wealthier and the population even more dependent on the billionaires.
There are no return tickets from Moronsville.
