Announced as a purely private venture....but cost estimates dramatically ballooned.
But I was told privatization was much more efficient and the government overspends on everything
middle-men infested it no doubt
They’ve been talking about this shit since I was in high school nearly two decades ago. I always assumed it was never gonna happen

Talking about, but never doing, High Speed Rails
We saved you each 17 cents. Now say 'thank you.'
Now say 'thank you.'
Very rude Texans.
I'm surprised it was ever alive
I'd like to imagine the only trains in Texas are old timey cowboy steam engines
the metroplex has the DART, but it needs to be updated badly.
Bring back banditos!
Was Texas high speed rail ever alive?
sixty million dollars is about a sixteen-thousandth of the trillion dollar annual pentagon budget.
In the state that probably needs this the utmost.
Amazing.
I can't believe we have to rely on Brightline building private high speed rail in places that are profitable (such as Texas). Deeply embarrassing and worse for the public in the long-term
From the thumbnail, I thought that said Sean "Puffy" Combs as secretary of transportation. My brain went "I thought he was in jail? I guess Trump pardoned him and added him to the cabinet."
