WillieGreen memorial ping.
$64 billion could buy all of the following airlines employing 340,000 people and have $4 billion left over: United Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Lufthansa, Air France
It’s initial estimates were something like $11 to $20 billion, believe it or not. And that $64 billion is hedging. I’ve already seen talk of $100 billion.
Oh BTW: For some reason California is seeking all sorts of new ways to increase revenue on the back of car drivers, toll lanes, MPG traveled taxes...
All of a sudden, gas tax dollars just don’t go as far as they used to for repairing a building new roads.
Scratching head... wonder where all that money went.
LA has been trying to build a Columbia River aqueduct for ages and they’ll never get it. Oregon, Idaho, and Washington would never stand for it.
Like solar and global warming this is a 64 billion dollar scam
A French consortium proposed building a direct SF-to-LA line and they were going to pay for it and then hand it over to the state after fifty years. Obviously that would have been profitable so of course the Democrats hated it and instead came up with this jerrymandered idiocy of a route that took a possible 90 minute downtown-to-downtown trip and (in all due honesty) more than doubled it.
The train needs to be back burnered until California recovers.
Lol
Recover?
Don’t you know the state is running a surplus? I read that a few months back.
