No shortage of highly educated fools as well as crooked, ignorant politicians on the LEFT COATS. Apparently common sense has taken a leave of absence long time ago.

I hear you but when none of these people ever suffer any sort of voter retribution, who are the real fools, the politicians who line the pockets of themselves and their supporters with multibillion dollar boondoggles or the voters who keep voting them back into power or allow a crooked voting system that prevents any sort of change.

It’s the same argument about the homeless in California, they are spending billions with promises to end homelessness, but the problem continues to get worse

Nothing to brag about. Just sits on the ground. The first big earthquake and it will be gone.

I suppose I’m in the minority here. But I’m impressed by the structure, as it would make an excellent landing strip for really small airplanes.

Not a waste at all.
It can be used as a landing strip for electric airplanes.

Should be called Moonbeams folly with a big assist from the Mad Queen of Hearts Pelosi, and you can safely bet that they and every other democrat politician were well...compensated for F’ing over the California taxpayer. Oh and lets not forget the participation trophy winners, all the moron California voters ready to swallow every lie the democrats tell them and vote to tax the shit out of the rest of for every boondoggle presented to them.

California politicians, (democrats) are quite proud of the way they funnel money to themselves.
