In a random act of journalism, the Los Angeles Times looked into the multi-billion dollar high-speed

bullet train that is supposed to fight global warming if it ever gets built and if anybody bothers

to write the thing. The high-speed train is years behind schedule. Just since 2018, the cost has

jumped from $64 billion to $7-D-7 billion, more delays and cost overruns are coming. This

is not even factoring in the coronavirus to it. Among the problems the LA Times reports is the

operating culture at the building service's consultancy for the train. A global company called WSP,

now allegedly employees who tell the truth about problems with the California train projector told

to shut up and tow the company line. If they don't, they face the coronavirus. A top executive

brought into work on the project says the people in charge have no technical background. They never

disclose the real costs and they don't tell the real truth. There's just a bunch of politicians.

And this expert says the best thing that can be done with California's high-speed train is to cancel

all the contracts and start over. Now for years, I've told you this high-speed train's a train to

know where never was a good idea and it'll never be a good idea. The smartest thing to do after

canceling all the contracts would be to scrub the whole project and blame it on the coronavirus.
