That was probably the worst thing to happen to Republicans here in CA in a long time. Why are you saying that Eric? (speaking in the 3rd person) Because the high speed rail was the Republicans biggest whipping boy on governmental spending in CA. I saw it written so many times, what a waste that is going to be. (used as an Metaphor for Democratic spending) Now what are they going to use???? lol
Is that a rhetorical question?Quote:

It never ceases to amaze me that you guys who claim to be cerebral and one who claims to be a professor but yet don't really have reading comprehension. Please see the link below. Knowing that the public backlash about a project that was going to cost 3X the projected budget this is nothing but a ruse to take the public heat off the project for wasteful spending.
It has not been squashed, they are continuing with th eproject from central valley to Bakersfield while leaving wide open the likelihood that they will construct the rest of the legs from SF to LA at some point. So now its going to be somewhere in central valley, Modesto or Fresno? to Bakersfield wow what a good use of resources because there's so many people moving from those two destinations. They didn't kibosh anything, this was a pivot because of all the negative press around the project due to cost overrun. Try reading before shooting off at the hip! Come on even your FAKE news NBC is reporting it as such. I thought you guys said you were knowledgeable. Where's that Pin head, I mean pans hot guy with an IQ of 8 with his one word remark.

If you said Pocahontas aka Elizabeth Warner you would be correct! Her and the CA high speed train became a joke that neither one can recover from! Do you get it now Steelhead??? When the psychology of something or someone is ruined they can never come back!Quote:

They tried to handicap the game and it did look favorable to bet on the Rams. (the Rams never really had a chance or even threaten to win that game!) Too bad they didn't talk to me! For I really am Willie E Coyote Super Genius! lol

Good article. Especially these points:
Wish other politicians would realize that their pet projects are botched and cost too much.Quote:
California's new governor, Gavin Newsom, sharply scaled back plans to build a high-speed train from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Tuesday, saying the program had been botched and cost too much.
That's like asking for 2000 miles of a border wall, but "negotiating" a deal to do 55 miles of fence instead.Quote:
Newsom said he would proceed with work on a 160-mile stretch in the state's Central Valley where construction is already underway.
Since apparently his # of posts match his IQ, they're about 4 more posts from being smarter than you.Quote:

Of course with you being the outlier the more posts you make almost 12K and counting it's just the exact opposite, the more posts you make the more you confirm my suspicion all along. What was it your now banned GF use to say to make her sound intelligent, oh yeah it was non cigarito which is exactly what you're practicing here. What a LOOSA...

It's almost like the possum I cornered the other day near my trash who kept on hissing.
Yes because you're always on topic nearly 12K posts I'd say you're probably batting .0001% in that category.
