Humans are restless. Even at the point of our greatest success, we often can’t leave alone enough. We try to shake things up over and over.
Last October, the economist gave a cover story about the US economy entitled “The Envy of the World.” The United States outperformed almost every other developed country. When we flash in 2025, we seem determined to blow up the international trading system that helped us thrive.
Another example occurs in California. California is home to many recost groups on the planet. Our relatively high income tax rates generate revenue fire stations from places like Silicon Valley. In poor states, taxes are allocated more carefully to ensure basic levels of public services. California has far more money than it needs before basic services, so they decided to waste a huge amount of money on the Bundugie on the high-speed rail.
The original plan voters adopted on the streets in 2008 to build a high-speed rail line between LA and San Francisco by 2020. To everyone’s surprise, they estimate that Costest Esthetics Mates is far slower in their schedules.
The project’s price tag currently exceeds $100 billion, with an initial estimate of more than triple. It has been supplied primarily by the state through voter-approved bonds and money from the state’s cap-and-trade program. Less than a quarter of your money comes from the federal government.
Authorities have already spent about $13 billion.
And no mile trucks are laid. But even worse, there are plenty of words. The state is currently abandoning its goal of building a high-speed rail between LA and San Francisco. The new plan calls for the construction of a high-speed rail line between Palmdale and Gilroy.
Finishing the line in the valley is just the first step. It must then extend north towards the San Francisco Bay Area and south towards Los Angeles. Choudri’s goal for the next 20 years is to build it at Gilroy, approximately 70,000 (113 km) southeast of San Francisco. Under current public transport, at least one trans transfer will give up one trans to enter the city.
Heading south, he envisions a building in Palmdale, 37,000 (60 km) northeast of Los Angeles. From there, it takes more than an hour to drive on an existing train line to reach Los Angeles.
Technically, it is still possible to take a series of trains from San Francisco to San Francisco, but it takes about seven hours rather than the promised three hours. If this project is unlikely to be completed in 2045, you will hardly ever get on a train (there is actually a series of trains, transfers). Why am I taking a 7 hour train trip for a much higher price?
So why did this huge failure happen? In a sensitive world, authorities thought before they began construction plans. In the subpoint, we discovered that the project was infeasible and abandoned the idea. However, the current goal was not to high-speed rail lines. It funded many contracts to build high-speed rails. That project you have succeeded. For contractors, Palmdale to Gilroy is similar to San Francisco. Therefore, they decided to start building the line to present “facts on the ground” that alleviates the preference that the project has been abandoned. To be clear, on a cost/profit basis, it still makes sense to abandon this project, even after $13 billion has been spent.
Early on, the French got worse to help build the line. They were so fascinated by the incompetent people in their California office that they left with disgust. They moved to Morocco and built a high-speed rail line that was already in operation there.
From the poetry topic, a recent post discusses how the Trump effect shifted Canadian elections from Conservatives to Liberals. The post ended with suggestion of “next Australia.”
Here is today’s Financial Times:
Anthony Albanese You rode a wave of anti-Trump sentiment to win a landslide in your second term as Australian Prime Minister, just three months after I suggested I was faced with a humiliating defeat.
Albanese became Australia’s first Prime Minister in over 20 years and claimed to be the first Labour leader to achieve that feat since Bob Hawk in 1990.
Workers needed 76 seats to form the government, and it was predicted that they would win almost 90 seats as the count continued.
Pendulum effect during operation. Canada, Australia, where will you hit next?
