So after trump threatens to look into the California shitshow of a high sped rail project, they start moving and shaking

Just for those who dont know this was started in fucking 2008

They said 33 billion to connect San Fransico to LA via the central valley, a great idea in theory, and they said it would be done by 2020

Where are we in 2025

computer pull up that map of how much is completed

OHH FUCKING NONE OF IT?

Computer show me the current cost to the tax payer, surley its not wildly over budget while not being even 1% completed right? RIGHT?

They are saying they need 100 BILLION more than they originally said and the best part is of the 23 billion allocated for it so far, a good chunk came from federal funding so congrats everyone, your taxes have been funding the California Money Pit


Seriously look at that "completion map" thats knocking on the door of 2 decades in the works and half of it is still under environmental review.

True, but government at least has to pretend to have some form of due process and somewhat abide by FOIA requests. That little bit of checked power goes out the window with a private corp. Just look a Josh's dealings with payment processors.

it really doesn't. if the government denies you a FOIA, you're just fucked. if the government wants to put you in jail for years, untried, it can. look what happened to the j6ers. the idea that the government of the US isn't already just its own entity in the same way as corporations is retarded. 'privatizing' the federal agencies has already happened under every president since fucking hoover. they contract out an overwhelming amount of work, more than you would ever guess if you don't work for one of these agencies.

What Allies?

When in the past 40 Years has a Country actually helped us outside of token forces in the War on Terror?

It's so weird that people care so much about the EU/Canada. The relationship we have with them is net negatives for us and we lose hundreds of billions every year to them in "trade".

These countries have no power, depend on the USA to protect them if any real combat happened and want to continue to take infinite migrants to kill themselves while prosecuting free speech to levels you only see in CN today.
 
It was a blip on the radar in this thread, however, I personally trust this gent. Graham Stephan talking about the DODGE Dividend proposal of returning some bunce back to American Tax Payers. It's concise and in plain English.
