They’re still making the mistake of thinking that the purpose of this project is to construct a bullet train. In fact, the purpose of the project is to line the pockets of contractors, consultants and unions. The delays and cost overruns are a feature, not a bug.
Great point!
Oh, that is just sooo cynical!
(All quite true, however heh heh).
When I lived in the once-golden-state, and interacted with uberliberals on a daily basis, I never heard one person (not one) say that they were looking forward to the high speed rail.
Why on earth would anyone pay the same money (contrary to claims) to go from north state to south state at a much greater time in travel?
There is essentially no demand for the high speed rail, and everyone knows this.
