[ Which brings us to something entirely implausible — the state-of-the-art bullet train, now under construction. Somehow, we got along fine without a bullet train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. A maniacal pipe dream of Gov. Jerry Brown, its price tag was increased last week to $77.3 billion. The train’s projected opening date has been pushed back another four years, to 2033. ]

As the article says, this is considered an “investment” bt hot how long to recoup the cost?

Certainly there can be no graft, corruption, helping out old friends, etc. in involved in $77+ billion dollars.....

In other news, there's this amazing technological achievement called “the jet airplane” - of course, it burns fuel, so that's bad.

If they ever get it built.

$77 billion? You could rebuild CA’s freeways or upgrade its airports and still have plenty of money left over.

When you let government manage an important project it never gets done on budget and on time.

Certainly not by 2033.
