HS2: High Speed Rail in the UK

[mostlylong]

@DrBob2

The estimated total cost of completing HS2 has ballooned to over £100 billion

@DrBob2

Well, it wouldn’t be taken off the market

With the Saudi pipeline shut down an estimated 3 - 5 weeks (one guess I heard) by the Houthi militant greens, Zandi might need to revise his estimates.

The war’s cost to the average American household’s pocketbook is about $1,650 as of last week, a combination of energy, interest rates and the costs of the war, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytic. It’s a number he said grows by the day.

$221 billion = 134 million households x $1,650

At this cost, the US could build 4 high speed rails per year, 3 in the US and 1 as a gift to another country (UK first).

I honestly didn’t know the Houthis were such big high speed rail proponents.
