Pete Booty-Jizz: Children Born Today In America Will Not Know An America Without High-Speed Rail

Posted • October 23, 2024: The Left is obsessed with high-speed rail. We're not quite sure why: is it because Europe (which is smaller than the US) has rail? Is it because of their cult-like belief in environmentalism? Or perhaps because rail, like all public transport, restricts freedom of movement? The answer is probably a combo of all three. Regardless, the Left has been on the high-speed rail bandwagon for a while.

In other words, don't hold your breath. -- I recently did the math. Given how much the California high-speed rail project will end up costing, it would actually be cheaper and more effective to simply have the state pay for any person‘s round-trip plane flights on commercial passenger jets anywhere within the state for the next 150 years. That’s how expensive and ridiculous this scam is. (…)
