That's 91% of the bills folks. If I had that many errors in my billings I would quickly be out of business. And remember, the rail authority hasn'r even put a shovel in the ground.

One word: BOONDOGGLE

A lot quieter.

I wonder if the poster/maker of the video got permission to use all the films in his creation. Otherwise, it's illegal.
