  2. Except you are not doing the project, fucktard. The project was the completion of the rail linked as proposed.

    Well, they should be raking the leaves in those forests after all. Serious mismanagement.

  5. He should just declare martial law in California.

    Bunch of commie losers and grifters who have just become a northern province of Mexico.

    Everything else aside and strictly from an engineering/economic/scientific pov. .... this is actually a pretty cool read if one has a few minutes. I liked it at least. :D

  7. I see a section of the plan on "WORKING WITH OUR VALUABLE PARTNERS."

    I will have to look at that later to see if the President and the federal government are still considered to be valuable partners if a democrat is not in the White House.

    So far it is looking like Jerry Brown is no longer "a valuable partner." Once he left, newsom scrapped a good part of the plan.

    I imagine if I read the "Capital Costs" section there is some serious sci fi in there too. They have already invoked sec. 21.6.3a which says just bend over and kiss your arse and the project goodbye.

    ...and President Trump finishes off the entire project defunding construction of the small piece that was to be built. Q.E.D.

    I am curious though... what happens to the bonds they sold?
