About 17.5M Californians file taxes and roughly 60% of them pay taxes to FTB (40% pay 0 taxes or get tax credits), so the average cost per CA tax payer is $231B/(17.5/.6)=$22k
California high-speed rail cost now up to $231 billion. That means the average worker in the state will pay out over $12,000 to fund a single project that almost no one will ride.
CA rail will be studied for generations, a truly once-in-a-lifetime level of government failure.

I asked #Rays starting pitcher Nick Martinez about Aranda getting plunked last night. He said the guys were not happy and that it was "bush league." When I followed up on possible retaliation, he replied "we'll see." 👀

@pmarca My grandfather was shot at by the Ohio National Guard while striking for better working conditions, which led to stronger unions and better living conditions for factory workers across the Midwest. That’s praxis
@pmarca Circa 2020 tech companies were competing with each other to hire, and workers had real power they could have used to change working conditions. Instead they spent their lunch hours protesting Dave Chapelle. Wasted opportunity.
I want to read these paragraphs explaining why the British moved their Mediterranean fleet to the Adriatic shortly after King Alexander of Yugoslavia was assassinated in Marseille in 1934, but that will wait until I'm far from this fucking imbecile playing videos on his phone.
