      I’ve been to both. Montana is happy to larp as a cowboy state and North Dakota knows what it did.

      Or South Dakota, or Wyoming, or Idaho, or any part of Nevada that isn’t Las Vegas.

        It’s not that those places don’t deserve modernization, it’s just that those are much more sparsely populated areas, with much longer distances between population centers. From a cost and logistics perspective, it doesn’t make sense to build routes in those places before establishing routes elsewhere, in denser areas. You have to walk before you can run, etc.
