Here's how megaprojects work in the US:
The megacontractor underbids on the project after colluding with the two other megacontractors that exist to not step on each others' toes. They are awarded the project and the budget to design and build the system. They design the system poorly, but no one at the state has any expertise to know they have designed it poorly. Anyway, they then start the process of telling the state "oh wow this totally unforeseen thing/design flaw occurred so now the project costs more". (These are called "change orders" and the burden for them is on the state, as per the contract.) The state's options are:
- Pay them more money to continue.
- Stop paying them and abandon the project.
- Try to argue that the change order is not valid, which takes time, money, and results in the contractor walking away from the project, leaving you right at option 2 anyway.
- Stop paying them and find another megacontractor to pick up the project. Due to collusion, the new bids will all be astronomical and there will be years-long delays as they "come up to speed" or adapt the design halfway through to their own way of thinking.
Obvious the solution is to have literally anyone who works for the state on salary who has some knowledge of planning, designing, or building high speed rail at a reasonable cost, but Americans refuse to accept that anyone who doesn't work for McKinsey or Deloitte might know how to do anything, or that anyone whose first language is not English might know how to do anything, so they do not do this thing.
Does it matter?
You made that post the other day crediting Jesse Jackson for making Americans aware of socialism, even though he's never claimed to be a socialist, but Hasan isn't ideologically pure enough for you because he shows up at lib events?
if you take libs' money and keep saying America deserved 9/11 it's bad, actually

Austin Powers was the blueprint.

I don't know shit about chicken farming, but I assume you can still eat rooster meat. I also don't know shit about guns, but I assume blowing away a rooster with a 12 gauge severely limits its ability to be food.
The flavor of the week games that seem to pop out exclusively for streamers to play together.
Peak is the most recent one. Lethal Company and Chained Together are other examples.
Makes you wish China actually had reeducation camps.
In their defense, the Jacobins weren't doing adventurism. They were organized.
