Seattle Monorail & California High Speed Rail Move Forward

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the such-a-shelbyville-idea dept.

bscottid writes "Woo-hoo! The monorail passed in Seattle!. And, it was driven by an amazing grass-roots effort of people who saw a way to use technology to get us moving again here in The Emerald City. Everyone mark your calendars, because in 2007 you're invited up here to take a quick, scenic ride around the beautiful city of Seattle! (Begin Simpsons references now)" It's also worth pointing out that in the recent california election, a pair of bills were passed which put aside approximately $10b for the construction of California's high speed rail project.

    What a startling and fundamental ignorance of economics this post represents.

    Fucking liberals.

    Yeah the gas station attendants salaries magically appear. The price of the gas does not take keeping them on the payroll into account, right?

    No wonder you guys think governments should be allowed to force companies to charge less than cost for things (like electricity.)
