Nevada, are you having breakfast with Clive Bundy this morning?

But an appeals court can issue a summary dismissal, and hopefully that will happen.

Europe and Japan have had them for years, so we’re not breaking new ground. However the economics on this fiasco doesn’t work out and doesn’t benefit the California citizen. We’re virtually bankrupt and we choose to spend our money on this? Time for some new blood in Sacramento.

Not sure what you really meant to say, but that’s just wrong.

Th efact is there are NO JOBS, poutside on minimum wage. People want to work, but there is no work.

Our semi skilled labor jobs that were the backbone of this country have all ben off shored.

Our hi tech jobs are being taken by low wage H-1B visa chumps who will come over here and write computer code for 1/3 what MS, Google, Apple and other Tech companies would normally pay Americans, the construction industry has been completely taken over by illegal aliens who will frame, hang dry wall and pour concrete for $10 an hour with no benefits, which is $9.00 an hour more than what they made in their third world country.

Blame the policies of our leaders, not the worker bees who had no say in how we run the country.

They can be a force in rapidly moving lots of mail order products to urban centers.

Wake up. This quasi bullet train is a winner.

Doomers think big……growth vs deminishing returns. The train builds capacity to compliment economic growth.

A little OT, but did anyone else notice how DiFi’s husband got the no-bid contract to start construction on the MoonBeams Boon-doggle ™.

Remember how Lyle Lanley handled Barney’s question?

Barney: “What about us lazy slobs??

Lyle: “You’ll all be given cushy jobs!!!”

Nailed it.
