The private company building the LAX people mover (SkyLink) wants until February 2028 to open it before it's in default. That's more than a year past its current December 8 deadline. emma.msrb.org/P11986616-P115… emma.msrb.org/P22091100-P215…

Ship 42 static fires complete. The Starship preparing for Flight 15 performed a full duration, six-engine static fire, and fired a single Raptor engine to simulate a deorbit burn

Image from Reddit showing 1 of 3 electrical arcing events during testing of the LAX People Mover after $5B in taxpayer money for just 2.25 miles of track. No opening date in sight. Where is Karen Bass? reddit.com/r/transit/comment…

For those in the replies wondering how this is her fault, the board of LAX is appointed by the Mayor. That same board signed an unbelievably bad contract with the contractor of the project and has not been held accountable. lawa.org/lawa-governance/law…

The same board is now spending $1.5B to reconfigure some roads. Expected result? No change in how long it takes to go get in and out of LAX according to their facts sheet. Fire every one of them. lawa.org/sites/lawa/files/20…

To the casual observer, this won’t seem like much. To those who understand the spectrum wars, it’s an earthquake.
