Elon Musk just CANCELLED California
FULL TRANSCRIPT
folks i'm literally about to lose my
mind me kevin here california
is going to be spending 3 000
bitcoin per mile
for a train just so you know that works
out to
million dollars per mile for gavin
newsom
stupid high-speed railway folks i'm
going to give you an
alternate in this video listen to this
voters in 2008 in california approved
10 billion dollars of spending for 500
miles
for a high-speed train today
this high-speed train is expected to
cost 100
billion dollars that's 10x the original
expectation we'll get a few hundred more
miles we'll get 800 miles but if you
divide
a hundred billion by 800 miles you get
125 million dollars of cost
per mile which is the equivalent of
about 3 000 bitcoin at the time of this
recording which is absolutely
mind-blowing
because guess what elon musk tells us
that the boring company
could drill and have functional and
operating tunnels
under our cities under our streets under
our highways
for the cost of 10 million dollars per
mile
that means you could literally have 12.5
miles of tunnel
for every one mile of train you get to
make this make a little bit more sense
consider this for the same price
that california and gavin newsom are
wasting on a bullet train
you could build 12 tunnels
so literally like that's one tunnel
that's two tunnels 12 tunnels from the
border of mexico on the wall
to the border of oregon
12 times for the same cost of a
high-speed rail
that won't even stretch from the bottom
to the top of california all the way
we can do that with tunnels 12 times
over for the same cost
this is a ludicrous expense but not only
is it ludicrous think about it this way
let's give you another analogy here
let's say we wanted to build
tunnels under every single interstate
in california we would literally be able
to build
a two-lane tunnel system under every
single highway that exists in california
with the amount of money that they are
spending on this high-speed bullet train
gavin newsom knows how to waste money he
just proposed increasing the budget by
four billion dollars
for the high-speed rail when instead we
should be using
tunnels consider this the tunnel is
going to alleviate traffic on let's say
the 405 between a highly congested
area like the 101 and the 10. folks
that's only
12 miles of distance you could spend 120
million dollars so a fraction of the 100
billion dollars gavin newsom wants to
spend to alleviate
hot spot areas with multiple tunnels and
you no longer have traffic and
congestion
but see logic doesn't work in california
politics and this is exactly why
you got to go to meet and support meet
kevin
paff rats my campaign for governor
because this is
ridiculous but it gets worse
california's government says hey but
come on we're giving
5 000 jobs we've already spent 267
million dollars on salaries for this
high-speed rail
and we're creating five thousand jobs so
we might be spending all your taxpayer
money
and wasting it but at least we're
creating five thousand jobs
the problem is if you literally take
their math
and you divide the five years they spend
on this project
and 40 years and you divide that into
267 million dollars
you get an average pay for a full-time
worker working 46 weeks
40 hours per week eight hours a day
you get an average pay for these five
thousand workers
of six dollars an hour those are the
five thousand jobs california is
creating now obviously they're not
lumping them all together like that it's
because the way they're counting 5 000
jobs
is by saying oh well that guy worked on
the job for at least one day in the last
five years so i guess that
temporary worker or that tryout works
yeah 5 000 jumps
folks the politicians are lying to us
through their teeth
they're the least transparent thing we
have right now and it's
all gavin newsom's fault it's not cat
it's not the people of calais for
california's fault it's not the workers
fault it's not even
congress's fault it's leaders like gavin
newsom who are screwing california
folks this is why you got to vote yes on
recall and support
meet kevin paffreth for governor but
folks think about this
a bullet train is not what we need we
need something that's actually going to
solve traffic where we have traffic
gavin newsom is spending over 3 000
bitcoin
per mile of a train it's going to be
going through areas
that don't even have traffic that's the
problem
if we just focus the tunnel spending in
areas we have traffic
we alleviate traffic and we can probably
build
10 to 20 tunnels under the most
congested parts of california
all throughout california and instantly
eradicate
traffic throughout the entire state now
i know some people like to make the
counter argument which is reason well
that hey well if we build another lane
of the highway it's just going to get
filled up with more traffic
may be true if you add one lane but what
if you add 12 in highly congested areas
or what if we have variable toll rates
for the tunnels that we do build
if you want to use the tunnel you have
the option of using the tunnel or going
on the highway system
all of a sudden maybe we have a little
less discretionary traffic going through
the tunnels
and we really are just focusing on
offloading
peak congestion which california is the
butt of the world's
joke when it comes to congestion tunnels
solves the problem guess what else
tunnels are good for earthquakes
think about how things operate under the
ocean
when there are waves things are pretty
calm become under waves
you're sitting on the waves or worst
case scenario you're a bridge and you're
really riding that wave like a surfboard
that's where you get peak volatility
so what's actually more exposed to
damage in an earthquake
a train or a tunnel hands down a train
gets destroyed
whereas tunnels stay protected and move
with the ground
folks a high speed rail is a disaster
when you look at the numbers
this is a gavin newsom pet project
wasting taxpayer money and it's another
reason why
california wants to raise your taxes now
reduce them
like i do go to meetkevin.com for
governor support the cause
