Rails Or Reparations, That Is The Question

[Independentthinker]

Funny how California won't even finish their very own promised and voter approved bullet train for 128 billion dollars but will back reparations to blacks to the tune of 640 billion dollars for offenses that California didn't even commit. Take a look at the picture of an unfinished section of their bullet train as a monument and museum to the total absurdity and stupidity of the woke movement. Glad though that Biden and the left signed that infrastructure bill.

Let’s Face It, California’s Los Angeles to San Francisco Bullet Train Will Never Happen

California’s dreams of having a bullet train system that links the state’s Northern and Southern regions looks less and less realistic every year. Now 15 years after voters originally approved the initial bond for the train, a new report from Palm Springs outlet The Desert Sun shows a single...

That boondoggle was just a way for CA dems to launder union money.

Which of the two are you for OP, rails or reparations?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

I didn't own any. Im not participating.

One is a benefit to the state and all people. The other is of use to no one. It shouldn't be hard to decide where to spend the money.

I don't live in California. But, if I did, I would certainly be against reparations.

So you're for the rails then, right?

I think its time to make a quick move out there, identify as a black, collect you some state goodies, and then haul outta there, laughing all the way.

Technically aircraft are cheaper. With the new hydrogen powered engines on aircraft it moots this as an issue.

This plane powered by hydrogen has made an electrifying first flight

While one engine burned jet fuel, the electric motor on its right wing got its juice from hydrogen fuel cells.

Yeah, but is it as practical as rail?

I would choose rails over reparations.

It is hard to understand the idea behind reparations. For some reason a bunch of people who never owned slaves, whose parents never owned slaves and in most cases whose grandparents never owned slaves are supposed to pay money to people who have never been slaves, whose parents weren't slaves and in most cases whose grandparents weren't slaves in order to bring justice to people that were slaves and can in no way benefit from the payments. Sounds like a pretty wack idea to me. Oh, wait. It's California. Nuff said.

I don't know, is it? I mean air travel is very popular, more popular than trains.
