Pretending to be there is much, much cheaper than the high speeed rail boondoggle. (daniel boone must hate having his name attached to this word)

I have been in many a meeting with say 20 or more folks with billing rate total of over $3,500/hour. Tack on travel time and the electronic conference is perferable.
And anyway, with California's new third world status, how would the hobos and chickens be accomodated on a jet-fast train? [/quote]

It's ridiculous to think that the tax payers pay for every person in the State to have access to U-boob videos and porn that doesn't tile. I have very fast HD, digital phone with unlimited long distance and equally fast HSD at home. Cause I pay for it. Granted at a huge discount but none the less I have "access" to it. A buddy of mine lives in Jamul and his HSD service through Sat is just fine for everything he does. He too pays for it.

Anyway

Third world status? I must have missed that announcement...

Anyhow, looking at the raw cost of the rail system makes no sense....one has to compare it to the alternatives none of which is spending zero....

What exactly are you doing online at McDonalds that need you faster wifi? That's more than enough for websurfing and general futzing around.

What's wrong with using the free wifi at McDonald's or Starbucks while traveling if you don't have a cellular data card?

What's wrong? I suppose nothing....but I still don't get why someone would want to go online inside a McDonalds.
