Counting bumblebees one-by-one 😂

California hasn't built its bullet train because the state has required 130,000 pages of environmental reports, making absurd demands like: • counting bumblebees one by one • rebuilding woodrat stick huts • hiring specialized dogs to sniff lizard scat

So far $677M spent counting insects 😂. Zero miles of high-speed track. Where are priorities 🤔 Governor of California?

California is counting bumblebees. Japan once counted on one stubborn old man. Shinji Sogō ran Japan's national railway. He was 75 when construction of the first bullet train began. Five and a half years later, it was done. 515 km, Tokyo to Osaka, just in time for the 1964 Olympics. But the budget nearly doubled. He resigned to take responsibility. On opening day, he wasn't invited to the ceremony. The train he fought for has carried billions of people since, without a single passenger killed in a derailment or collision.

Makes total sense now. Gavin Newsom can’t read (self-admittedly), so give him 130,000 pages and this project is dead before it starts!

🔱Just want to point out: To best of my knowledge, there are no bullet train routes ANYWHERE in the US... not just Calif. - The US, in-general, can continue to blame people for its problems, or it can knuckle-down and implement solutions to the problems, in priority order. Our choice.

The train was sold as a climate fix. 18 years after voters approved it, California has a full census of bumblebees and zero passengers.

The bees have formed a union and are demanding hazard pay. Project completion date: never. 🐝😂

This is one of the many reasons California is ripe for Democrat plucking. I used to think it was old hippies that fried their brains with drugs, then the tremendous amount of foreign imported people. I now believe it was a Democrat full-fledged financial rape, for every dime, it makes them feel superior and they are having fun.❤️🤍💙🌺🥀🌹💐💥🌷🕊️🔔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Bumblebees are not hive insects. They have nests in the ground and other odd places, which don't have as many individuals as honeybee hives. This wouldn't be related to your lack of an environmental impact statement for your future Louisiana site, would it? @Grok, please explain where bumblebees live and a typical number of individuals per nest.

And the DEF they demanded from the truckers is what is ACTUALLY killing the bees. Make California make sense?

Bees are important BUT move them and plant pollination friendly plants in other areas instead of acres of solar panels.

This is what Democrats do. They launder money to environmental NGOs that then create all these insane procedures and mandates for projects that make sense to no one. The point isn’t to ever do these studies, the point is to indefinitely stall projects

That’s because Newsom signed 2025 legislation guaranteeing $1 billion a year for 20 years to fund the project. This guarantees it won’t be finished for at least 20 years. This should be illegal.

If they have that kind of money, wouldn’t it be cheaper to just give away FSD for free? lol

It's a wonder anything works in this state. The whole country looks at California as if it's one giant open-air insane asylum.
