Broke California OKs funding for high-speed rail line

[jhale667]

You must know you have no clue what the F you're talking about, yes?

Why do they need a super expensive train if they are commuting now ??

Most people will chose to stay in their cars where they have considerably more freedom and don't want to be harassed by the TSA...

And you must know there will be TSA checkpoints before boarding the train...

You sir, are a paranoid fucktard. There are guards at the stations, but it's not like the fucking airport, FFS. But I'll take a 15-minute train ride nonstop over sitting in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour any day.

NY's are from Bombardier (Canada) and another company...

Bombardier just signed a deal to build trains for the next 10 years in China, and they have been in past trouble for defective parts made in China...

Well for one thing the high-speed rail will keep asshole drivers and poor people driving disintegrating cars off the road. Would ELVIS feel better about a freeway overpass collapsing during an earthquake instead, not to mention highways collapsing near the fault line?

Why not? He was perfectly fine with levees collapsing (due to neglect) and thousands of (mostly black) people drowning in his own back yard.

I'd rather bee in a car rather than trapped in a train during an earthquake...

Uhhhhh. No. I know that's the impression given on MSNBC or wherever, but the FACTS are a little different. Of the 818 fatalities in which race could be determined, 55% were black, 40% white, not what I'd call "mostly black". Now age is another story altogether, 85% were more than 51 years of age and almost half were older than 75.

I had one in my motorcycle helmet and got stung on the neck and a flat front tire all at the same time...

It was a bad day, especially pushing my bike home...

True story...

I recently took a train from Buffalo to Albany, there was no TSA and it was kind of cool being able to drink booze, get work done, and nod off when it takes me four-and-a-half hours to drive there and just over five (usually) on the trains. Highspeed rail would cut the time to two to three hours...

Come on E, I know you've spent some of your time in Southern California, you know if this ever gets off the ground, it will be beneficial....

[ELVIS]

Maybe if California had the money to pay for it up front...

You know it's going to go way over budget and the federal government will be called on to bail it out on the taxpayer dime...again...
