I absolutely HATE flying and avoid it as much as possible. However, if I’m going to a conference on the other side of the country I can’t dedicate 6 days to travel. I’m 33 hours from LA for instance, that would equate to 3 days each way of 11 hours in the car each day. Realistically, it would be more like 8 total days of travel with 4 each way.

This. Also, going by car is significantly more expensive monetarily, when gas and hotel are accounted for.
Don’t forget tolls!
Driving is rarely the better way to go. It’d be even less so if we had a more comprehensive passenger train system.
Probably, driving is also more dangerous, although I can’t be bothered to look up the stats.
Yeah passenger rails that didn’t suck would be the best option here.
