Oh FFS.  Not only will this not die.  But the dumbshit wants to spend even more to make it electric.

Despite Newsom’s high-speed rail plan, some on project’s board have other spending ideas

"What Newsom wants is a 171-mile operating line of electric-powered trains from Merced to Bakersfield as an interim step toward a statewide bullet-train system. To do that will require another $4.8 billion to not only extend the tracks and signal systems, but to buy the trains and build the electrical system to power those trains."

Not only is it not dead.  They are squabbling over how to waste it's money.

Skirmish Over High-Speed Rail Funds

laura friedman is from my district. thought she did okay on the glendale city council. not very impressed with her work in sacramento.

i still think the best option would be to cancel the high speed rail and instead add two traffic lanes in both directions on the 5 and the 99. far less costly. i can't imagine what the cost will be for commuters on a HSR that's boatloads over budget. there would also be the added cost of uber drivers or rental cars once you reached your destination.

Have you driven through the La Mirada/Downey area lately? Like, in the last 10 years? They've been adding lanes to that section of the 5 since the early 2000s.

The one I don't get is the 60/57 interchange.  They just did a major refit on it, that took years.  And now they are saying it's inadequate and needs to be improved, and they want more money in order to do it.  This is Calolfornia for you.

How many dick shots have you had to edit out during that 15 years?

[Blarg]

We call it Penile Definition and I've painted out plenty more than I care to remember. For the women it is always an issue of Décolletage and Derrière.

[St1ck]

That's awesome.

I have absolutely nothing to do with what is on my IMDb page. I could update it but, why, someone else does enough so it looks like I have a job.

Is there anyone here who checked Blarg's IMDb and did not immediately click on Live Virgin?
