who the hell would even think about building a bullet train in the most unstable region of the country?? first thoughts of mine when they just started publicly pondering the idea out there. GD train, zipping along at 250kpm+ and a 7.5 earthquake hits... you’re not gonna stop fast enough before some major destruction occurs!! how fkn stupid can you get!!???

The Japanese. If this boondoggle ever gets constructed, they better have some Japanese engineers building it.

Well to be fair, Japan is pretty unstable when it comes to earthquakes and they seemed to have figured out how to deal with them.

Of course there will be little demand or need for the Bakersfield/Merced stretch and who knows when they can figure out the more important Merced to S.F. and Bakersfield to L.A. bits. Thing is the Merced/Bakersfield was supposed to be the easy bit and it doesn’t look like they can get it done.

If it ever gets finished, I have no doubt that the state will somehow move to limit/restrict/ban the airplane competition, likely in the name of the environment.
