    Hyperloop was a raging success - it stopped funding of railway. I believe he even admitted that this was behind it to begin with.

      Luckily only in Murica.

      The liberal parties here tried to make the same argument here, but luckily no one takes them seriously (in Europe this means something different, than in the US. It’s not progressive/left-leaning, they are more like Libertarians/Republicans. They don’t hate gay people, but hate paying taxes and regulations)

        Wait, who actually likes paying taxes?

            Hear hear. I think it was Chomsky that said something like “we should all be celebrating tax day; that we don’t speaks volumes”

          People who are not too stupid or egoistic to see that good things happen with them?

          I love the awesome public transport network here, I love the good maintained hiking paths, I love that I can walk safe outside because of good social security. I love that all people have access to good healthcare here
