Paragraphs quite often contain more than one sentence. In fact, paragraphs are defined as a group of sentences expounding on a single topic.
Re-read the some of the Federalist papers to see to what I refer.
Your laziness in reading does not match the previous esteem I held for you and your intellect in this instance.
My understanding is that the freight railroads are very reluctant to rent track time to passenger trains. I’m sure there are also regulatory/liability issues involved, but the freight lines seem to be primarily concerned (maybe rightly so) with the potential disruption to their schedules of having to share track with passenger trains, at least in the southeast where I live.
There is no known way to get the train over the Santa Monica mountains. So it was decided to end the line at Bakersfield. They would expect Angelenos to first drive to Bakersfield and leave their cars there. Lol! Even Angelenos aren’t that stupid.
What is this love affair that Commies have with trains?
If it’s all about control and having people all jammed together in a long cylinder speeding toward some destination or other, what about airplanes? They, too, are long cylinders filled with people speeding toward a destination. But the Commies don’t seem to have a thing about flying, not like they do about trains.
What’s their love affair with trains?
Weird.
Gov will subsidy the ticket,no matter what happens,tax payers are going to pay for it.
Trump is not going to fund new rail,only fix the existing infrastructures.
People living in Ca should expect fees & costs go up.
Oh, I’m not talking about separate passenger trains, I’m talking hook a few passenger cars onto a freight and offer the “if you’re headed that way” rides.
Aircraft can divert and go to different destinations if the pilot wants. A train is permanently locked into going where the track leads, perfect for a centrally planned state.
Or, put another way - you can use a plane to escape a totalitarian regime even if it was supposed to go somewhere else. You cannot use a train to do so - it’s stuck on its tracks.
Lol — good point.
Should this train ever come to fully pass, CA will inevitably increase taxes and fees at the airports to ensure the train is ‘competitive.’
There is a liberal in the office who is half Portuguese, and has lived there. He often boasts about their public transportation system...
The European model is to tax gasoline and diesel heavily, to subsidize the trains. He believes this is proper, and even moral...because cars are bad I guess.
I assume this would happen in California, to pay for a ‘bullet train’.
They already do that to pay for their existing mass transit boondoggles, so it is no great stretch to think that if their train is uncompetitive they would work to make everything else more expensive to save their silly train.
