This is my biggest fear. If the Democrats get control of Congress, which is already statistically likely based on past midterm elections, this will happen. Endless impeachments and bills to roll back every EO. If they get a veto-proof majority, everything Trump ever did will be erased. They'll reopen every closed agency and rehire every Fed with raises and backpay. They'll codify the agenda they wanted with President Kamala.
Modified that a little.
Elon didn’t do that; California did that all on their own.
Elon had a substantial hand in it. He sold a bunch of bullshit to the retards in California and funding ear marked for the project went to his retarded hyperloop which offers very few tangible benefits for a technology that has tons of issues and was such a fuckup and failure he abandoned it completely.
Do you seriously think all this was going to happen with margins that small in the House? Republicans in swing districts aren't voting for it, Democrats obviously aren't going to vote for it, what the fuck do you expect? At some point you've got to realize that's how politics works. You don't get everything, but the doomposters on X and you go full retard and forget the most basic information on why bills aren't getting passed.
China has had plenty of deadly rail crashes, they just are able to cover most of them up.
No he didn’t. The only source for that is a book quoting “anonymous sources” and California has spent orders of magnitude more money on their traditional rail system than Musk ever got to research the hyperloop.
I don't know if you are disingenuous or just not intelligent enough to understand my hyperbole about even China getting it right as far as high speed rail being a proven technology. If you want to try to tell me how I was wrong on that nothing you posted was even relevant.
It's "proven" in the sense of we can physically make trains that can go fast, not in the sense of it being economical outside of very specific use cases.
I guess all of Europe and Asia are very special use cases. Tell me you've never been anywhere in your life lmao.
elon fooling around with experimental meme technology is based though. trying shit out because you think the idea sounds cool is how new inventions are made, and you're not gonna hit that big successful idea if you're not willing to accept a dozen 'but it sounded cool on paper' failures on the way there.
Europe, where despite rail getting massive subsidies everyone takes RyanAir instead because it's still a fraction of the price and time?
Thanks, I was about to say.
As someone who's spent a decade between Europe and Japan high speed rail is extremely convienient and I miss it to be honest. I think this is falling outside the scope of Politics at this point though.
