We need a general tweet of the day thread

"It will only cover the planning phase" Today you can go from Portland to Seattle on Amtrak in 3.5 hours for $27. In your dreams, a non-stop high speed rail trip from Portland to Seattle could be done in 1 hour. But, there will be stops because of the political pressure to get people on in Vancouver, Olympia, Tacoma and any other localities that want on the train to either Seattle or Vancouver BC. An airplane trip would take an hour and run $160. So what would a $50? billion dollar high speed rail network from Portland to Canada have to charge per trip to pencil out? With transportation to the rail station and then going through security and being there an hour before departure and then getting transportation in Seattle to get to your actual destination you are back to a three hour trip. Or I can drive my car to my Seattle destination in 3 hours for $30 in gas.
Once again Team Dazzler with the supposed advantage of a mythical law degree and a hypothetical MBA decides that a massive subsidy for a mode of transportation that the public doesn't want is actually good for the public. Scratch a leftist, find a fascist.

Olympia isn't even on the main line. East Olympia is the stop. Was in the middle of nowhere headed out to Yelm. Probably a lot more folks these days
There was a spur to downtown Olympia

Now to be fair a 1 hour plane ride is 3 hours due to HHs favorite organization the TSA. Short train rides are always way better than plane.
The problem in the US is the cost of getting the land in the actual city and the fact that most train rides wouldn't actually be all that short between cities since most cities are spaced too far out. Some select few would work. Texas cities feel like they'd be the best one to start based on distance and flat ass nothing in between.
Or like Phoenix to Tuscon, but I'm not sure I want the Tuscon trash coming up so easily and often.

Doesn't sound like much of a hero if I don't know what he stands for
H1B is a scam. I'm not interested in legal immigration until the illegals are stopped and deported

Well you might not be,but Trump is.
 
Team Dazzler and the feminists created the ultimate safe place for women. Cowering in fear in their apartment on New Year's Eve. I blame toxic masculinity if you just include military age males from third world shit holes.

Males in Gaza doing their bit to turn their state into rubble over their support for Hamas and holding Jewish hostages. Women not invited.

Fire in California, with Santa Ana winds... wierd that never happens.... oh wait it does all the time. It could be the power lines or it could be an arsonist or just some idiot throwing a cigarette...

But it's common and normal.
 
Although LA has been dry in the current water year, over the last 5 water seasons LA is substantially above average in rainfall. Remember how that fact has been relentlessly pushed by the climate fascists? I was taught about the Santa Ana winds in So Cal in junior high. Key lesson is that it was going to burn sooner or later and that wet years led to large growth of brush which then dried out and that our teacher like almost 60 years ago said fire seasons would get worse as the population increased in the hills and canyons. So of course, no one could have seen this coming.

100% some of the worst fire years in California come after wet years, like you said everything grows... and if you don't use goats, cows etc to much it down you get this.
