California tried to build high-speed rail.
The cost rose to $100B.
The timeline rose to ~100 years.
So, there is no high-speed rail. https://t.co/e8VvyMJzAr https://t.co/935rVooX7m

The U.S. can't build housing. Or transit. Or solar power. Or transmission lines. Or semiconductor fabs. 

We are the Build-Nothing Country. 

And this needs to change, and it needs to change fast.

The US establishment has inherited a country they could never have built. The founders left the building long ago.

A society that can’t build from scratch will eventually find it hard to maintain.

Because if you can’t build every part of a system, how are you going to build the spare parts for that system?

Something will eventually break that you can’t fix. And then, idiocratic decline. https://t.co/lNKAQNEgiW
