Well I suppose the mighty California Legislature could pass a law requiring all clocks and watches to run a half speed between Los Angeles and San Francisco, solving the problem for everybody.

They can already rewrite history, declare any budget balanced, and repeal the natural law of economics, time dilation would be a piece of cake.

In an email, rail official Kyle Wunderli wrote: “I have an answer on your request for some documented proof of the assertions the engineers made to Dan Richard. The answer is that no document exists. These were verbal assertions based on skill, experience, and optimism and so Dan Richard went with the expertise of the engineers offering these assertions.”

The level of corruption in all of the "green" programs is hard to fathom.

They haven't even bothered to figure out a timetable for this stupid train. But they spent millions on "something". Who knows where the money has gone.

... including stops ...

Stops are a killer, as every redblooded American male obsessive compulsive mile marker monger knows, I assume. Trying to maintain an average speed of 60 mph, one gains on this mark painstakingly, hour by hour, only to see this gain bleed away in mere minutes at a rest stop, just as the semis that you passed a half hour ago come roaring past. But, you know, when you finally get there, none of it matters anymore. You even forget to check the odometer.

I think Californicate needs to go for the bullet train. They have lots of rich people out there that need to get from point A to point B very quickly and I’m sure they are willing to pay for the privilege. They could have fancy lounge cars and business suites on the train. Commoners could be accomodated in open cattle cars as the trip would be so short. They could name it “The Moonbeam Express” after the farsighted and omnipotent El Presidente of Californicate.
