Yet another good use of our tax dollars....

[slaveofconvention]

I got one for ya! Here in the UK there's been a big scandal about expenses claimed by the members of our government. A huge outcry into the amount of taxpayers money being wrongfully or unfairly claimed by Members of Parliament led to a long investigation and audit. In the end, it was determined that the MP's had to repay a total of £1.2 million (about $1.85m US) to the taxpayer.

The investigation/audit itself cost the taxpayer a little over £1.1 million.....

I think this technology could be used for rapid deployment of supplies to a disaster zone, or be used by Fed Express to do International same day delivery!

New, from FedEx: 8-hour international delivery, only $500,000!

...Wait, NSW, right? I lived down under for a few years. I've used Sydney's railways and they were actually quite good and I didn't see what was so wrong with them that they needed to have that much work done as those massive proposals suggested

Yeah NSW. There are some areas of Sydney that have expanded recently and need a train line like North West Sydney.

Hm, I do seem to remember the bus ride to Sony HQ in North Ryde was actually a total nightmare now you say it...
