Please no Hyperloop grift for Minnesota
Please no Hyperloop grift for Minnesota
Without real-world experience, they want to engineer a 700-mph tunnel from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to Rochester.
The hyperloop thing is so fucking dumb. It sounds like a great idea if you're high and don't understand all the technical challenges associated with it.
We have some great already proven technology, it's called fucking trains.
This is another grift from those adjacent to and the greatest grifter since the wizard himself.
"But the Musk made a white paper about it! It's his idea and its brilliant!"
Had this told to me the other day by a fan.
Elon’s the monorail guy!
Exactly my first thought.
It's more of a Shelbyville idea...
Wait just a minute, tell us the idea and we'll vote for it
Would you rather spend 15 minutes in a cramped windowless pod, or 40 minutes in a spacious train with a bathroom and snacks, looking out the window at the Minnesota countryside?
Right now is not the time for that argument. I think I'd prefer the pod.
A small part of me wants the hyperloop grift to make it a little bit further, just far enough to be protested, just because the protest signs will be hilarious. But as much as I want to wave a sign around with Thomas the Tank engine reading Choo Choo Motherfucker, or perhaps just Build a Train, Dumbass this feels like an irresponsible use of my tax dollars.
