Tunnel crew...you can figure union rates at $30 an hour. Toss in some accidents and a simple two-year project can turn into a six-year project. You could milk this till the cows come home.

Aren’t those Seattle guys still paid while the digging machine sits?

That 68 billion could end Kalifornia’s drought problems forever, by way of aqueducts from soggy Washington and Oregon. Fact. Pretty much follow the existing I-5 corridor.

Just let some illegals or Hamas guys dig it. They do more with less.

$30 an hour?? This isn’t 1965.

Try more like $130 an hour, all told; and “Welcome” to the 21st Century.

That could be a really long time if they have to take the train.

Hey, it was funny when I started typing it.
