I wonder where the $11 billion has really gone?


My daughter was in private school here in Northern CA and one of the parents was a higher up for a firm providing security for the bullet train. The guy was making a killing on a pointless job. Its so bad a bunch of us dads were gathered in a group at a school auction and we were kidding the guy about getting paid so much for such a pointless job. Dude got really really angry and stormed off.

THAT is what I said. I mean really, how many people are going to utilize it when neither end is a highly populated workplace? Now, if one of the ends was LA or San Francisco or even the Bart station in Walnut Creek which can get you to San Francisco it would be something.

Not possible due to NIMBY people.

It would be a good project for The Boring Company.

But Elon Musk isn't paying attention to tunnels right now.
