All politicians should be forced to watch that old Simpson’s episode “Monorail” with their eyelids peeled back Clockwork-Orange style.

Amazing mass corruption.
Maybe not so amazing. Unfortunately this corruption is now par-for-the-course in State and Federal Govts.
We are lost. No nation can survive this level of widespread corruption with any level of prosperity. All wealth is siphoned off by a cabal govt/private sector looters.

ONE flat county.
Just one flat, farmed-land (not through a city or over a swamp or even a big river! )
No active “moving” earthquake faults in that county. (Unlike the very active fault lines and mountains and cities further south and all through the valley around Los Angeles.

Well, at some point in the future, Mexicans, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indians will love their train.
