Image from Reddit showing 1 of 3 electrical arcing events during testing of the LAX People Mover after $5B in taxpayer money for just 2.25 miles of track. No opening date in sight. Where is Karen Bass? reddit.com/r/transit/comment…

For those in the replies wondering how this is her fault, the board of LAX is appointed by the Mayor. That same board signed an unbelievably bad contract with the contractor of the project and has not been held accountable. lawa.org/lawa-governance/law…

The same board is now spending $1.5B to reconfigure some roads. Expected result? No change in how long it takes to go get in and out of LAX according to their facts sheet. Fire every one of them. lawa.org/sites/lawa/files/20…

To the casual observer, this won’t seem like much. To those who understand the spectrum wars, it’s an earthquake.

Why is nobody going to jail over this? It should not be legal to spend billions of taxpayer money, basically complete the project, and then refuse to open it. Blatant corruption. reddit.com/r/LAMetro/s/3bueP…

Why does every AI support agent force you to give a bunch of details before handing you off to a human who promptly asks for the exact same details again?
