Another government boondoggle

100 billion here 100 billion there, pretty soon you are talking real money.

Nancy’s supply of ice cream must be depleted.

This was always a dumb project pushed by former Gov. Jerry Brown. Newsome just continues with it despite the State having nearly $59B in the red for FY 2024. Enough already.

this will never be built

[Dave911]

“unclear what the demand will be”.......only morons would set out to spend 130+ billion based on no market research. But then we are talking about politicians.

The more pots the pols have to pilfer the less likely they are to be caught.

Why would anyone want to go to San Francisco ?

I wonder how many people are getting paid off with this money.

Naaah, this is how the DNC funds elections, and hiring the Antifa/BLM thugs to riot. This thing was passed over the vote of a majority of CaCaLand citizens. It is a scam for money laundering and land seizure.

No doubt he expects Uncle Sugar to cough up the $100 billion.

After all the billions spent they have completed barely 25% of this thing. The Big Dig 2.0. The rats sure know how to lauder money.

Never having to rely on rail for transportation, I could never figure out why it is so attractive. You need a car to get to the train station then you need a car to get to your final destination once the train arrives.

[Organic Panic]

Bidenflation???

But what it really is... The politically connected used the past 20 years to buy up every scrap of land along the route knowing full well the costs would be astronomical and an endless supply of money. NOW... Well golly, all that land is worth SOOOO much they need a few hundred billion more to buy it all. Because so many rich liberal people can’t wait to move to Norte Mexico in the San Joaquin Valley among the farm workers.

A bullet train doesn’t take 3 hours to travel that distance. That is more like a dart train.

Season two of “Real Detective” on MAX, will show you how politics and the Mob are indistinguishable.

They need the money for a new bus lane over the Grapevine from Bakersfield to the train station and back in L.A.

AMTRAC has their own bus fleet.
