It was discovered that it would Not make it to Hawaii as promised. :jumparoun

Billions upon Billions have been taken an given to Calif, Ore, and Washington State, as part of the "Agenda 21" program that is very much alive and doing well. All that is remaining is the "Group Haters" to man their appointed stations. And "Utopia" will be theirs, well as long as they stay good little groupies :evil:




Trump Demands Gavin Newsom Return $3.5 Billion for Canceled Bullet Train; Newsom: It’s ‘California’s Money’

President Donald Trump demanded Wednesday evening that the State of California return $3.5 billion in federal funds after Gov. Gavin Newsom canceled most of the state’s high-speed rail project, saying it was too expensive.

“California has been forced to cancel the massive bullet train project after having spent and wasted many billions of dollars,” the president tweeted. “They owe the Federal Government three and a half billion dollars. We want that money back now. Whole project is a “green” disaster!”

How the bullet train went from peak California innovation to the project from hell

It was billed as the most ambitious public works project since the transcontinental railroad opened up the West.

The high-speed rail network would transform California — ​cleaner air, less congested freeways and airports, and more limited suburban sprawl with a whole new style of housing around rail stops.
“Fresno could become a bedroom community of the Silicon Valley,” the California High-Speed Rail Authority said a month before voters approved Proposition 1A in November 2008.

Yet bite after bite, huge cost overruns, mismanagement, political concessions and delays ate away at the sleek and soaring vision of a bullet train linking San Francisco to San Diego. A project meant to drive home California’s role as the high-tech vanguard of the nation was looking more and more like a pepped-up Amtrak route through the Central Valley.
Quote From Article
"The momentum has been halting. Ten years after voters approved it, the project is $44 billion over budget and 13 years behind schedule."

"A state audit in November blamed flawed decision-making, organizational faults and poor contract management by the California High-Speed Rail Authority.">
A good article/comments

flawed decision-making
That's what you get with far-Left radical thinking.

They'll ignore any and all warnings and forge ahead with their way out Utopian ideals and ideas 'til they invariably fail. Failure is no deterrence though, they'll grab the idiot ball and run with it again every chance they get. And every time through, no more is accomplished than another drop in their collective IQ -

At non-stop flops, they're the tops. A Stupid Bowl stadium for the radical Left? If you build it, they will come.
