    Pipe down, you two!

    We can't have workers living somewhere decent while commuting to their jobs which might not have such a grand location and being happy.

    Nope. No.

    we could if the gov. just paid for it all, instead of trying to get the taxpayers to vote on it.

    commie countries don't ask they just go ahead and do what they want

    The maglev trains they have now are a success.
    ~
    Musk got his idea for the hyperloop from the Japanese.
    ~
    George Medhurst. In 1904, Robert H. Goddard then invented the vactrain which essentially did a version of the same thing.
    ~
    Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group, a SpaceX competitor, has a hyperloop that makes far more sense and had a successful launch in November 2020. The Virgin Hyperloop is able to reach up to 670 mph as of this writing. They also managed to cut the cost of tunnels in half!

    Sounds like a ripoff of Musk's Hyperloop. Typical ChiCom BS, can't come up with their own ideas, gotta steal them from someone else.
