Everybody knows about President Joe Biden's longtime love of choo-choo trains, and his administration's Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has also embraced the goal of expanding passenger rail service in the U.S.
Buttigieg says he's "working on the future" of high-speed rail in America.
Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) ~ We're working on the future of America's passenger rail system—funding high-speed rail projects in the West and expanding service for communities across the country. Get your ticket to ride!
"Get your ticket to ride!"
In some cases, as Mary Katharine Ham pointed out, you might not even still be alive to use that ticket:
Mary Katharine Ham (@mkhammer) ~ Here’s SF to LA, projected 2008-2020, $33 billion project, now not operational in 2024 with a $100 billion + price tag, unlikely to be done “this century,” on current pace. Sounds awesome, Pete.
Government efficiency is unmatched, and by that we mean no other entity could spend so much money while moving so slow.
TInaMariePx2 (@PerezTMx2) ~ So Much Infrastructure‼️ 🙄
Flappr (@flapprdotnet) ~ Sure, let's give this man more money for another vanity project nobody wants.
Ah, Petey ... you are such a ridiculously incompetent buffoon - the perfect fit for the Biden/Harris administration.
