Every now and then we like to do a California "Train to Nowhere" update. The only real progress that seems to be made is that billions and billions of dollars are spent while the actual train part never materializes.
After years and years of spending, the California High Speed Rail Authority thought this update was worth bragging about:

A lot of people had the same question after watching that:

California = no track laid in the 17 years since Prop 1A passed.
California is proving you can spend tens of billions of dollars and have nothing to show for it. https://t.co/EGXgRcCeVs
And Gov. Newsom still has the audacity and lack of self-awareness to try and mock Gov. DeSantis.
‼️ Hey @CaHSRA Let me fix your post:

As long as they're allowed to keep dumping money into a bottomless pit the California Dems will consider the project a rousing success.
