Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Sat Jul 11 23:52:26 2020, in response to Re: Why New York City will never build another subway station, posted by Spider-Pig on Sat Jul 11 22:33:28 2020. yes, airports, most of the interstate highway system ALL of the missile silos, and contents.If you are interested in useless government spending, read up on Charles de Gaulle's critique of the Maginot Line of pillboxes. He was nearly cashiered out of the French Army for his views, but Heinz Guderian read his essay. Most boondoggles are built in order to distribute patronage to the connected political donors (bribers) who actually build the projects. . There was a New Jersey Congressman who gave up his seatto run for mayor. (Hugh Addonizio) read the wiki; he got a piece of every city contract. We in "the West" often criticize the kleptocratic post colonial dictatorships; we behave in the same way. BTW, in this periopd of "cleaning pp" public monuments, getting rid of the imagesof Spiro Agnew is on my list. Having the Veep receiving paper envelopes of cash in the office is really low rent behavior. Now as to rail boondoggles, the oculus, the deep bore SAS, almost every foot of BART (I ride regularly, but I resent the shitty design andthe ripoff fares. ), the entire imperial capital design of WMATA (and again the outrageous fare structure). End of rant, and apologies iftoo long. |
