SACRAMENTO, CA (Worthy Satire) – In a stunning upset, California has officially dethroned Alaska’s infamous “Bridge to Nowhere” with its own $7 billion federally funded masterpiece: the “Train to Absolutely Nowhere,” a high-speed rail project that has yet to lay a single inch of track.
According to a bombshell federal report, the Golden State received nearly $7 billion in taxpayer money for what was supposed to be a sleek bullet train zipping passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Instead, the only thing moving at high speed is the burn rate of taxpayer cash and consultants’ vacation schedules.
“We may not have built a train,” said one California rail official, “but we’ve successfully constructed the most expensive PowerPoint presentations in U.S. history.”
Critics are calling the project “America’s most scenic pile of environmental paperwork.” Meanwhile, supporters insist it’s a victory for sustainable transit — since you can’t emit carbon if there’s no train.
In a desperate bid to stay competitive, Alaska has reportedly hired a new team of engineers to redesign the Bridge to Nowhere to lead directly to California’s Track to Nowhere — forming the nation’s first transcontinental loop of federally funded futility.
Former President Biden applauded both projects, declaring them “shining examples of shovel-ready jobs… once we find the shovel.”
