In a random acted journalism, the Los Angeles Times looked into the multibillion dollar high speed bullet train that is supposed to fight global warming if it ever gets built and if anybody bothers to ride the thing. The high speed train is years behind the schedule. Just since two thousand eighteen, the cost has jumped from sixty four billion dollars to seventy seven billion dollars. More delays and cost overruns are cumming. It's not even factoring in the coronavirus
to it. Among the problems the l A. Times reports is the operating culture at the building services consultancy for the train, a global company called WSP now Allegedly, employees who tell the truth about problems with the California train project are told to shut up and tow the companyline. If they don't, they faced the coronavirus. A top executive brought into work on the project says the people in charge have no technical background. They never disclosed the real costs,
so they don't tell the real truth. There's just a bunch of politicians, and this expert says, the best thing that can be done with California's high speed train is to cancel all the contracts and start over now. For years I've told you this, high speed trains are trained in nowhere. Never was a good idea, and it will never be a good idea. The smartest thing to do after canceling all the contracts would be to scrub the whole project and blame it on the coronavirus.
