I wish Brightline the best, but those saying it is some model that can and should be widely replicated don’t seem to realize its bonds are on the verge of being rated as junk.

Passenger rail is a risky business.
You've heard about California's zero-emissions car mandate, but the state's zero-emissions train mandate might be even crazier. It's currently drawing opposition from a broad coalition of unlikely allies before the EPA. Deep dive for @NRO nationalreview.com/2024/04/califo…

“Enthusiasts” do drive rail policy, sadly. A rail executive remarked in the 1970s that Amtrak “primarily served as a sentimental excursion into the past for legislators over 50.” In 2008, Reason Foundation predicted California’s high-speed rail disaster: reason.com/2022/10/13/we-…

As part of the effort to replace the Key Bridge, Congress should waive costly federal regulations to help ensure that taxpayer dollars are not wasted and construction is completed in a timely fashion. reason.org/commentary/how…
It’s too early for Congress to commit to funding the replacement to Maryland’s Key Bridge, but if it does decide to do a supplemental appropriation, it should avoid triggering costly Buy America, Davis-Bacon, and NEPA requirements. My latest @ReasonFdn: reason.org/commentary/how…

Most of the negative impacts of the loss of ridehailing will be felt by residents who will have fewer local transportation options, but the total impacts will be much broader. Hard to imagine a large event planner selecting Minneapolis as a host city in this environment.

Did you know foreign airlines can’t run flights between American cities? That limits our options for domestic flights and makes them more expensive. Competition means innovation and cheaper prices. It’s time for American airlines to step up their game.
when people say the U.S. lacks "state capacity" to deal with some concern, always make sure to forward them this list and ask what's missing. Because there is almost no human activity under the sun that is not touched by one of these 438 federal agencies federalregister.gov/agencies

such a shame that Congress cannot get AV policy done right and that, meanwhile, "the Biden administration seems likely to keep AV regulatory policy in the slow lane," as Marc explains here. Once again, life-saving technology is being held back by political stupidity.

My hottest movie theater take is that people who do this should be beaten about the head and neck by ushers carrying metal poles and that if you cry out in pain you should be bludgeoned until you are unconscious so as to avoid inconveniencing your neighbors with your moans.
Even the right wing think tank guy thinks California’s av regulators have been fairly honest and competent. 🥰
@binarybits Sorry, you didn’t say that. But I wouldn’t characterize ignoring irrelevant objections as overruling anyone or being pro-AV. IMO, California’s regulatory framework creates too many veto points that could be exploited by less honest and competent regulators.
Government failure, or — OR! — setup for a minimum wage natural experiment?!?
