The United States needs High-Speed Rail

Public transportation is lame. We need better ways to depopulate, not better ways to shuttle all the useless eaters back and forth. **** them.

Teleportation is the future.

What you dopes are missing is that the problems the California project has had are due to the exact same issues that plague governance and development everywhere in this country.

California is a shit hole. Hope that helps.

Season 2 had splashes of Epstein in it too

City of Vinci in the show was based off the industrial City of Vernon in LA and it's political scandals as well

I like it, Season 1 was just too good to one-up

The first section from San Fernando to Fresno was nearly complete until Trump pulled funding to satisfy his Big Oil buddies


Shame, his admin single handedly setting us back into medieval times of technology

Uhh, I always thought you were the dumb alter ego of Fultz, but I can no longer tell. If you're trolling, well done.

The one-party state of California started its High Speed Rail Project in 2008 - long before Trump.

It was supposed to be a $9.95 billion bond that would be repaid by private investors. It's now a $100B boondoggle with completion ETA of 2033.

But it's Trump's fault because he didn't want another ~$1 billion of taxpayer dollars into more waste?

Trump helping out the US taxpayers by not wasting money on an absolute boondoggle. It's not problem to drive around in California with how it's set up and there's already AmTrak there. Waste of money.

Private sector can't raise a sum like $10 billion. They need immediate return on investment rather than 20yrs down the road. Only nation-states can afford those kinds of sums..

Private construction companies also know how to take advantage of the system so if government provides funds, private construction companies will simply delay-delay-delay the work years and years to keep sucking up money like leeches. Politicians allow that to continue because they are in on it or because they hire a company they are in bed with or because they are simply too inept. Politicians fund a project then leave office in 4-6yrs and the project dies with partial money already spent. Someone else comes along, they may decide to kill the partially-finished project or decide to throw more money at it.

All returns to corruption and lack of accountability.

You just explained the problem with government funded infrastructure. Good job. The perfect world of private companies always acting ethically and politicians staying in power forever doesn't exist.

If the investment made sense, the private sector would fund it.
