California is taking of heat for celebrating the completion of an high-speed rail bridge that has cost taxpayers $11 billion and took nine years to build — and clearly goes nowhere.
Critics — including Tesla founder Elon Musk and Dogecoin creator Billy Markus — are ripping the California High Speed Rail Authority after it boasted about last year’s completion of a “Fresno River Viaduct,” a mere sliver of the state’s long-delayed, bullet-train project attempting to link San Francisco to Los Angeles
“This is the most remarkable human achievement ever,” joked Markus, the creator of the jokey cryptocurrency, on X Friday.

If this wasn’t so sad and frustrating, then it might be funny ha ha.
As it is, it is evidence that the political class of the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah need to be replaced by nothing,
11 BILLION dollars to go no where?
Who’s brother-in-law got that contract?
If nothing else, the time value of money is ignored. And, by the time something connects with it, it’s going to be obsolete or decayed.
Argh!
