How much of those insane costs for highway construction are for kickbacks to corrupt party officials just to get the project approved?

How much ends up in various Swiss bank accounts (or Caymans)?

How much of it is for overpriced materials or workers because bureaucrats required it?

How much of it is for lawyers, insurance, or other added expenses because of DEI requirements or to allow for mistakes caused by DEI or other incompetent people imposed on them by the corrupt politicians & bureaucrats?

How many extra people must by hired by various political mandates on top of those who actually do the work?

How much of the cost is inflated because of union requirements?
Really? You do believe anything. Procurement in FL is pretty tight and you will end up in court or challenged if things appear no above Board.

Swiss or Caymans? You ever work on a public project?

Market sets the price, usually if materials go up it is because of competing projects or big projects. I remember when the Three Gorges Dam drove up the cost of cement. Buy America drove up costs. Tarriffs drive up costs.

DEI? Really? You think that is a cost center?

A lot of road cost has to do with the State Constitution, some States only have to give fair vaule to take land for eminent demand. In FL, we pay total cost, including business damages for the life of the business. That drives up costs even for corner clips. FL is a big property rights state only 2 things require a full 12 man jury in FL, capital murder and eminent domain. They take it seriously.

FL is right to work State, no union.

For a typical $100 million highway project, approximately $15-20 million in direct wages flow into the local economy. Beyond direct employment, the construction phase drives demand for local services.

The US does overspend compared to other Nations, mostly due to DOT understaffing and a lack of private sector competition. DOT's used to be better staffed.
yes, most likely those bids also require certified payrolls as part of the bid. This isnt a place where the contractor charges $35.00 an hour and pays $20.00

Not alot of places to hide extra money to sluff off for use other than the bid items
Yeah, you have to watch. We use audited rates. But overhead is where they play the games. If that is high and audited all the rates are high. Let's face it, there are games that get played in every business, private and public. This is where experienced PM's come into play. Too many 5 year experienced PMs give away the farm and not even know it. It used to take 15 years or more to get to be a mega-PM. Now, everyone wants it in 5.

I think I read Tesla gets a lot of support from our government

Elan sucks on the government teat while pushes others off.
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

he already did it with his companies and asks others to do the same.

Elon won govt contracts and reduced cost/increased effeciency in the space sector.

He won the EV contract under Biden.

Whst did I lie about?

Oldbear do you say he is not thriving on 33 billion dollars worth of taxpayers money while he inspects and runs down his competition?

Most of the conservatives I knew hated electric cars 3 three years ago. They wanted to drill baby drill. Electric cars were worse on the environment. It would eventually hurt Texas oil fields. Trump has surrounded himself with rich men. A drug addict and convict with no medical expertise rubs our health system. Drain the swamp indeed.

Musk is a Republican because Ford got to Biden first and had the EV bill written in their favor.

nope, I think Mr. Muskrat is a brilliant guy, but he does feed off the govt trough. The only problem I have with chainsaw man is the indiscriminate way he is going about slash and burn.

He wasn't the DOGE guy then. Now as the DOGE guy, he should at least cut the waste on trying to go to Mars. Do we really need that?

Elon wasn't complaining when Biden decided EV was the winner over hydrogen. Loved Big Govt then. How about Mars? Loved Govt spending then. Neither of those were waste, huh?

Every thing Musk says here should be obviously correct to everyone.

Which makes it incomprehensible to me how anyone could possibly vote Democrat.

Ever

Democrats are lemmings. They will vote for the party no matter what they do.

But Elon's words there are spot on. That has been their plan for years. The fact that people don't like Elon, despite him doing great things for our country, just shows you how programmable people are by the media and they can't think straight.
Thee tinfoil hat couch-potato prognosticator, not a bible school preacher.

There are only 3 types of individuals who disapprove of Musk actions in revealing the trillions of dollars of federal graft and corruption.

A. Liars who claim the incredible amount of fraud doesn't exist.
B. Fools who put their partyโ€ฆ.their 'team' above all other considerations.
C. Hatersโ€ฆ..who desire to destroy the traditional culture of the United States regardless the consequences.
