Despite the funding challenges, progress has been made on the project. In California’s Central Valley, 119 miles are under construction. The project recently celebrated its 10,000th construction worker on the job. The infrastructure design work is complete, and 422 out of 500 miles have been environmentally cleared, which is a monumental task in California.

The price tag for the rail system has risen to $128 billion, according to a California High Speed Rail Authority project update report — a nearly 22% uptick from last year's $105 billion estimate and a far cry from the $33 billion cost that voters approved in 2008.

I am surprised there is not more Florida on that list but Texas is clearly better for business than California.

Wup, Wup. NY has one on that list.  

 

 

 

“The original vision for this site was a billion dollar investment from New York State, Global Foundries would put $3.2 billion in and create 1,200 jobs. We stand here today, the state put their dollars in, global foundries put $15 billion in, and there are now 3,000 jobs here and growing.” CEO Caulfield said.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlobalFoundries

 

GlobalFoundries Inc. (GF or GloFo) is a multinational semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and headquartered in Malta, New York.[3] Created by the divestiture of the manufacturing arm of AMD, the company was privately owned by Mubadala Investment Company, the sovereign wealth fund of the United Arab Emirates, until an initial public offering (IPO) in October 2021.

 

And is getting the lion's share of the CHIPS funds into NYS.

52B of the chips bill going right to that company.

 

GlobalFoundries plans to expand production in the U.S. and Singapore. In the U.S., analysts see upside for GlobalFoundries stock if Congress passes the U.S. Chips Act in 2022 to expand domestic chip manufacturing.

Visiting southern California this long weekend and talking to folks about this topic… wedding, mostly locals.  basically everyone except the few crazies are believers in conservative fiscal policy but let the media make them believe republicans want to imprison their 3 gay friends so they don’t know what to do.
 

Meanwhile homelessness isnt some contrived Fox News story, it’s a disaster, personally effecting many people (ok not in La Jolla) but in their travels or day to day. and the drugs and crime.

Newsom Blames Florida Memorial Day Shooting on DeSantis-Signed Bill - There's Just One Problem

 

 

 

What do you call a cocky governor of a solidly blue state who’s forced into a humiliating recall election after his draconian executive actions during the pandemic—which he was caught violating, several times — forced unnecessary hardships on millions of his state’s citizens? Two words: Gavin Newsom.

 

Or, “Governor Hair Gel,” to some.

 

And, not to beat up on Newsom too much [sarc], but here’s a guy who saw 340,000 Californians flee his state in 2022 for a myriad of reasons, including high violent crime rates, out-of-control spending, excessive taxation, homeless encampments, public drug use, and other far-left issues.

 

So what does the California governor take from that?

 

While Newsom continues to insist he won’t enter the 2024 Democrat presidential primaries, he does continue to tour key blue states — and also continues to take cheap shots at Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Coincidence? You make the call.

 

Anyway, as reported by Fox News, after at least nine people, including minors, were hospitalized Monday following an altercation that escalated into gunfire at Florida’s Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, Newsom ran his mouth on Twitter about the “senseless violence,” and how only “common-sense [sic] gun safety” laws will stop such shootings— a direct shot at a permitless carry bill signed by DeSantis in April.

 

Just one problem.

 

Florida’s new Constitutional Carry law, which will allow Floridians to carry concealed weapons without a government-issued permit, doesn’t go into effect until July 1, 2023, making Florida the 26th state to enact Constitutional Carry legislation. 

 

 

The new law allows eligible citizens 21 years of age or older to carry without first obtaining a government-issued permit or paying a fee. And here’s the key: The legislation does not change who is eligible to obtain a carry permit, and those who still wish to get a permit may do so under the law. So Newsom’s nonsensical cheap shot at DeSantis was shot full of even more holes before it was tweeted.

 

Under the current law, Florida citizens who wish to concealed-carry in public must “desire a legal means to carry a concealed weapon” for lawful consent and pass a fingerprint-based background check, and complete a firearms training class, in addition to the previously mentioned government permit and fee.

And California is not asking you to pay for it. California is basically it’s own country we even pay your taxes.

Not a big fan of Newsom I didn’t like the reports that he was setting rules during the pandemic, but not abiding by them himself
