You miss the REAL question.
What crony of Obama or his minions gets the bloated contract to produce sub-standard junk - a Union shop, of course....
As they say, follow the money...
Last time was from Bombardier. And now of course, Bombardier is kryptonite to Amtrak because of the problems with these custom-made trains that nobody had seen before (completely new design, right on the heels of the new “crashworthiness” specifications that the Federal Railroad Administration made up out of their heads). And this was after testing two existing trainsets, one from Sweden and another from Germany.
The federal government, incidentally, has been promising 160-mph speeds on the Northeast Corridor since the late 1960s. How do they think that telling the same lies over and over for this long can work for them?
I suspect it’d be a crony of the VP, Mr. Amtrak Biden.
