I mean that's a bus or Bus Rapid Transit, because a train requires dedicated infrastructure and is a fixed route. A bus can route around problems where a train cannot.
In Boston they're trying to connect North Station and South Station, a distance of about 5 miles. The cost is at least $10 billion.
A bus is still limited to highway speeds for any significant distance. It solves the issue of not needing to drive, but it doesn’t provide a sufficiently faster alternative.
According to labor union association AFL-CIO, the highest CEO compensation in 2021 was $835 million[1], less than a tenth the cost of the $10 billion estimate for the North-South connector.
Also, I would expect at least a few cost overruns.
Yeah, the highest paid single individual person on that list gets only a measly 8% of the total estimate per year, therefore we shouldn't tax the rich.
The extreme mental gymnastics some people will go to to rationalize the current state of the world absolutely blows my mind.
They were pointing out that you jumped from the CEO compensation in general they mentioned, to just pointing at one person, which does not reflect the state of CEO remuneration (and the wealthy in general, which they also referenced), at all.
