Well, this could have been an interesting thread except for some bizarre flak from 2 posters who seem, at best, well, vigorously stupid.
Well, since you didn't put any other names besides mine in the "To:" box I'll just have to wonder if I'm one of the 2 posters you mention or if you mean two posters other than myself.
Your trolling ruins this board.
Would you mind clarifying just who it is you're saying this about because as it stands you're directing this comment solely towards me.
While I may have my own thoughts as to whom you meant to direct your words towards they don't quite convey them where they were intended.
And if you choose not to name them directly something along the lines of "I was talking about two posters other than you". would suffice.

this super corridor was cooking in the u.s. congress for the better part of two decades. but our media failed to inform us of the details.
Thank you "Owl" Gore for inventing the Internet!
Would it surprise you to learn that it isn't the media's job, and not the MSM's desire, to inform you of such things, much less anything? It's your job, and my job, as Citizens to know these things.
The media is here to entertain you, or even distract you, not inform you. Just look at your daily television programming and that should give you a clue as to what they consider their job to be.

I keep forgetting to read the tag lines...
tv: 1. sells products. 2. indoctrinates viewers into socialism.
Ignore my previous reply.

They face great opposition in Texas. Surprisingly, our Legislature heard the people’s voices and put a 2 yr. moritorium on the TTC.

CDAs were banned for 2 years, but facilities agreements were not. Slick Rick and TxDOT could still use those to build pieces of TTC-35 since the CDA was already signed for that one.

Of course my land is in Chicago.

How's that Skyway PPP of yours doing?

Ricky got pieces of what he wanted but, the opponents feel like they won a number of important battles. Opposition in the Leg was surprisingly one-sided.

I’ll clarify.......he wasn’t talking about you or me.

Well, until he responds I'll be taking your word for it.

So the powers-that-be have decided, in their infinite wisdom, to import more Chinese goods through Mexican ports that bypass more expensive US ports into the U.S. via Mexican truckers who are essentially given free reign over a large portion of the U.S. (and Canada), thus killing off more American jobs and leaving Americans more dependent on this system that could very well be cut off by any tin-pot who thinks that America should be “taught a lesson” by withholding food and other supplies from a nation that is dependent on this system and bereft of the ability of self-reliance, all so that the powers-that-be can cut costs, improve their bottom lines and give themselves bigger and fatter bonuses to shepherd into Swiss bank accounts.

Exactly, you know how we have participated in all those attempts to bring a nation to its knees with an embargo ? Well soon we could be one of THOSE nations that can not produce the basic necessities or food for its people so we will be subject to the nations that supply us, let alone keeps ourselves a military force in he world .

Our founders are turning over in their graves .

How is this supposed to fix illegal immigration and prevent terrorists coming to the US? Do they think these people will have to use this corridor?
