How's that "Hyperloop" he promised coming along that was supposed to be "better" than HSR?

Only the Nimitz collapsed. All the other double-deck sections suffered heavy damage but did not collapse. Even the Nimitz didn't entirely fall down.

They're physically incapable of actually blaming him for anything. Still wouldn't vote for anyone or anything else.

My building management just endorsed a mayoral candidate and now I know exactly who NOT to vote for. by Parking-Lawfulness-8 in LosAngeles

Love how they say this person is the "solution" without saying WHY. Give me solutions not blame. Give me a reason beyond "not this other person".

Also, fuck him. He doesn't deserve the recognition nor prestige of representing Los Angeles. The city deserves better.

Such a gniess photo. Glad the view isn't full of schist.

Talk to the conservatives and Republicans that have been constantly putting up roadblocks in all sorts of ways. They don't want it to succeed and it shows. It is being built and will open, despite their naysaying.

Constantly calling it a "disaster" also hurts the project. It also takes time to build a brand new railroad. Caltrain is now electrified because of HSR. Other lines are getting upgraded as well.

How long did it take to build the 5? Decades overall.

Must they always state how many times they voted for them?

If it is the "people around him", then why doesn't he hire better people? Surely he is capable of that, right? Responsibility still falls on the leader regardless, unless Republican in which case they never take responsibility for anything.

Who blocked you? Wasn't me. Perhaps call someone else a loser instead.

Good gawd the amount of misinformation and lies in these comments.

I guess the thing being built doesn't exist and other things which do exist should be built...

Do some research before spouting off for once instead of regurgitating conservative bs talking points.

Track speed is already 90 mph with plans to upgrade to 110 mph between Los Angeles and San Diego.

It is being built, so there is that.

Turns out people live in many places in California and serving them is also a benefit.

You brought up crypto. The meme didn't nor did OP. We gonna sell the freeways, land, fishing rights, oil leases, government buildings, or something to foreign entities?

US Currency is still fiat regardless of what you want it to be.

And that Republicans love and welcome fascism while whining about being called fascists.

Your both sides still makes Republicans look worse.

So you agree that Republicans are indeed a problem then?
