Why does California need high speed rail? Its people are broke and couldn’t afford to ride that thing anyway. Any money given to California will just go for other things. Like unions.
The problem with high speed rail is that it’s cost really won’t get the people who use automobiles the most off the road, which was the initial point of getting the trains in the first place. Traveling on high speed rail is about, on average 99$ per ticket. Even a bus or the D.C. metro was cheaper, last time I checked.
This whole high speed rail in Calif is a total boondoggle.
How much of the withdrawal of water from the Central Valley set up those farmers to only get pennies on the dollar for their productive land so that the “high speed rail’ could go there?
These 2 events are totally connected, IMO.
Aw, c’mon. Where’s your compassion for all the union boys who’re scrambling to keep work coming in?
We already bought them a bridge we don’t need, but we don’t have anything lined up to keep them all busy after that’s done.
So, this rail project we don’t need just sort of fits the bill, don’t you think?
but but they need it to throw trash around and give budding artist a chance to express their painting talents. Dont forget muggers and rapist too need this............
“Why does California need high speed rail?”
If you live in Modesto and want to get to Fresno in a hurry at other peoples expense the high speed rail makes sense. Also, it is very good for the labor union goons that will build and operate it. If you don’t fall into these categories nobody cares what you think about it.
The state is totally broke.
Just listen to john and ken at KFI.
Why drive when you can ride the Obama Express?
