Nick Shirley: Exposing Government Fraud, Suing California & Taking on the Media

Hey besties, if you were given $15 billion, what could you build? The next PayPal? Perhaps the next SpaceX? The next Google? Or would you build a high speed rail?

This is the California high-speed rail that goes to absolutely nowhere, and I mean absolutely nowhere. I mean literally nowhere. This is all California had to show for $15 billion in 18 years of work. In 2008, they said they were going to connect Los Angeles to San Francisco. To this date, they have connected literally nothing.

And now to finish this project, they're estimated it's going to cost $100 to $200. billion dollars and funny enough in 2008 China also created their own high speed rail and they've connected the whole entire country of China over 30,000 miles here in California they haven't connected a single town we're gonna be breaking down this entire thing from start to finish to show you guys what is actually happening with the California high speed rail let's get into it and now let's go talk to somebody who knows a lot about the California high speed rail what's the truth about the high speed rail here inside of California Uh, well, we call it California High Speed Rail, but all we have is concrete and rebar and about $15 billion spent. It currently is right now the most expensive infrastructure project happening in the world today. The original estimates for California High Speed Rail was $33 billion.
