I would be all for the bullet train if it was some private company doing it.......but no private company will touch it! They know better. The gov't wants ME to pay for it.
The demographics are weak....look at Amtrak, still subsidized after all these years.
Personal experience, I watch the almost empty trains go by all the time.
Your lack of knowledge on state projects isnt a surprise in the least. Take a look at the 5 freeway expansion in buena park. The goverment funded it, and its ALL PRIVATE companies doing the work. Private contractors bid on portions of the freeway and the work is done by private companies.
Same thing with the bullet train. The state will use tax dollars to help fund a portion of the construction, the USA will fund a portion and private companies will fund the balance.
PRIVATE companies will complete all the work. For you to suggest that the goverment will construct the system is laughable at best and this demonstrates your lack of understanding of how construction works.
The following private companies will BOOM with this project:
1) several different concrete mixers/companies will be contracted
2) several steel providers will be contracted
3) several electrical companies will be contracted
4) several heavy machinery companies/operators will be contracted
5) hundreds of steel workers will be contracted
6) hundreds of electricians will be contracted
7) hundreds of painters will be contracted
8) hundreds of cement workers will be contracted
9) hundreds of cement finishers will be contracted
10) hundreds of general workers will be contracted
11) hundreds of full time workers will be hired to run the system
These jobs can only be done by private companies as the state does not have the capacity to do any of this work. Your assertion that "NO PRIVATE COMPANY" wants to be a part of the project is pure nonsense.
There are private companies lining up from all over the world to do this project.
All you know is what you hear from FOX news and your mouthpieces from the GOP who would rather see the project killed than employ american workers.
TOS.
