Working for daddy and his cronies doesn't count.

Do you expect anyone here except Donnie to value your views or your
opinions. You have been proved to be a liar time and again. Your
credibility here is zero.

It's funny how the typical elitist progressive always speaks of real
workers, the ones that built this country, with such disdain as if they
were dumb teenagers and dropouts. It's the same way they look at women
and minorities, just tools to be flaunted during an election..

Have you noticed not one black or minority in any of the coverage of the
punks storming and stealing, threatening, etc in Wisconsin? I wonder
where the Main Stream Media is on this. When the Tea Party "had" blacks
and minorities, they were dismissed as Uncle Tom blacks by the MSM, and
the racists here for that matter...

I'd guess Governor Scott nixed the project because he couldn't figure
out a way to personally benefit from it.

That was based on the wild assertion that 3 million people would ride
on it. That is what the Acela gets, with 50 times the number of people
within 50 miles of the stations.

3 million was a low-ball..... Acela doesn't serve Mickey World....

No, it goes to Boston, NYC, and DC... Three cities that all cater to
commuters and all three that bring in more tourists each than Micky
World does on a daily basis... Nobody goes into Tampa, to go to Tampa.
People go to Boston, NYC, and DC to see, Boston, NYC, and DC. It just
won't be worth the money and stolen property. The only ones to profit
will be labor unions, and GE... GEe, who'd a thunk? Pfffftttt

That is a bogus number. Are you really saying the meager populations
of Tampa and Orlando would match the ridership of a train between
Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York metro and Boston?

Who would fly to Tampa to take a train to Orlando when Orlando has a
nicer airport with lower landing fees (cheaper tickets)

That is particularly true when you figure out it only takes about an
hour to an hour and a half to drive it. You are not going to be able
to do much in either town without a car anyway.
If these cities want a commuter rail line, let them build it but don't
confuse that with a cross state train line that will run empty most of
the time.

If half the population of Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg went to Disney
World every day, they would easily meet that 3 million number. I can't
understand why anyone would doubt that.

I lived in Tampa for two years, with relatives in Cocoa. It's about a two hour
drive to Cocoa, and an hour and a half or so to Orlando. It would probably take
a lot more time to drive to the train station, park, wait for the train, get
seated, take off, get there, get transportation, and arrive at a destination -
like Disney World. Of course, Disney would have a bus at the train station to
pick up the 3 million arrivals daily.

Landing fees don't tell the whole story. It is *considerably* cheaper
to fly to Tampa rather than Orlando and hotels in Tampa are about half
the price of Orlando.

But who wants to stay in Tampa to take a vacation in Orlando?

Not me.

Yeah, but who the hell wants to fly to Tampa? There is nothing there.
