“Welp, all the lumber we were going to use to make the forms to pour the concrete with have burned up. We’ll have to wait for the next round of funding.”
China has ghost cities, California has a ghost train.
This could have been avoided had California hired 10,000 no-show fire marshals for the project.
Oh, wait. They probably already did. So hire 10,000 more.
It’s always fun to note that the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads managed to lay tracks from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Oakland, California in less time than California has laid no tracks from Bakersfield to Merced.

Insurance fire?
