      Hyperloop was such a red herring I was too young to know but how DA FAQ did adults fall for that scam?

        The same way they were wooed by automakers, steel and oil companies in the 20th century

          I am very much aware of the historical corruption.

          It was sold as good for us. They took the money and now fucking us. Point being state funded capitalism doesn’t work for the working class.

          Train project is no doubt good. But gives away got to stop. They want fed capital, taxpayer gets a steak.

          Not whatever this clown shit is. We pay them our taxes, we bail them out and they treat us like shit…

          Air travel is the recent offender… 50 billion to be treated like a run brain dead peon.

          So in grand scheme this charity aitn the worst.

          But it should be called for what it is and people should lobby for the state to take equity position. That way we can at least recoup the investment for future deplapymeny of capital into public benefiting projects.
