    Its maddening, we have the real solution. Its not flashy magitech that will instantaneously move you while leaving your fecal matter behind. It is just fucking hi speed rail. Turns out, putting a bunch of people that all need to take a largely similar path on a high capacity, fast moving vehicle is just really efficient.

    This is like watching a children’s show where they pause before they give the answer, but instead of giving a logical answer they regurgitate nonsense.

      Next you’re going to tell me that that not only does humanity already have trains that can do 200mph (320 km/h): but they’re more reliable, safer, cheaper to build/operate, and can can carry a ton of people per trip.

      Psh, like that would ever work.

      If you’ve ever been to Japan, you can only roll your eyes if you read about how people can fall for that “hyperloop” scam. The Hyperloop concept is just unrealistic, dangerous and expensive. The Japanese high speed train system is very efficient and absolutely reliable. 🚅
