Its maddening, we have the real solution. Its not flashy magitech that will instantaneously move you while leaving your fecal matter behind. It is just fucking hi speed rail.

Psh, like that would ever work.

If you've ever been to Japan, you can only roll your eyes if you read about how people can fall for that "hyperloop" scam. The Hyperloop concept is just unrealistic, dangerous and expensive. The Japanese high speed train system is very efficient and absolutely reliable. ๐Ÿš…
