    choo choo

    Our current choo choo folly Virtue signaling exercise will build out 30 years... from now.

    The first high speed rail was completed in 1964. There is nothing like 55 year old tech 85 years later!
    Antiquated and obsolete as you. With the same useful life. Ts&Ps bobsled.
    Antiquated? No I'm not that old. I do OK with tech.

    Hell I don't even live in mom's basement. I can show you what work is.

    They move fast along the ground and hold lots of people. That is technology that will be around for the next 200 years..because it's obvious.

    Airplanes go even faster and move in the air...but it costs more and now adds 2 hours onto the flight time.

    There are plenty of times where one makes sense and the other doesn't

    It’s obvious up until new technology has passed it by, whitch has already happening.

    2 dimensional, fixed point transportation is old news. Embrace the future.

    Hi speed rail is for passengers not cargo. No one wants to go to the central valley. No one!

    High speed rail is for Contractors, Politicians with edifice complexes and fact free Greeners void of critical thought.

    I'm pretty sure most voters in Central valley would prefer the aqueduct tunnels get built instead of a high speed rail.
