The company FluxJet just defrauded the Canadian government for 550.000.000 Dollars. Pretty Based if you ask me.

These companies work by making "extremely generous" proposals where they would allegedly build the entire stuff with "their money" and only get paid after 30 years,. Because they are not a real company, the government doesn't need to pay anything, but now they can scam investors by showing a legally binding half billion dollar government contract.

By the way with this money they could only build about 50 meters of High Speed Rail, assuming European costs.

>shackle them all together, make them build and maintain roads and parks
>salary is your daily food
>unemployment now zero
>no more shady people in train station
>also roads aren't shit anymore

They also start shit, get a ton of people employed in some cockamamie scheme, run out of funds 5% in but because its in hundreds of millions they say, look we already spent this much, we just need the govt to give us tax money now to complete and everyone will win!
So they just loop governments to make people give tax money to these scams because the politicians benefit from kickbacks or campaign financing, etc
IE sunk cost fallacy bullshit, too big to fail

When you do the math and also just think about it practically it just doesn't make sense. Making a miles long vacuum chamber would take a monstrous amount of energy and is probably impossible with current technology because you would invariably have tiny leaks that all add up.
Also if there's a fire in your pod how are you supposed to get out? It would take an insane amount or R&D to solve these problems when you could just build HSR or just take a plane

because "progressives" know it doesn't work?
no hyperloop system has been built
no practical prototype created
not even a sound plan for the thing written
and yet retards are screaming "future is now" while trying to blow elon musk's dick (who dropped the hyperloop idea after realising it's retarded and moved to slightly less retarded "pods")

Hyperloops are a running gag at engineering schools m8. Nothing to do with progressiveness. If anything it could be called a conservative value to invest into sound projects only.

In most of these movies the oppressed classes start a revolution though. The proletarian class united by a clear enemy is Marx' dream come true.

No that's your paranoia coming on.

When private companies tried to start infrastructure projects and didn't had the money, all got abandoned, and some you can still visit the ruins (French Aerotrain, Transrapid, M-Bahn, etc etc). One or Two years in the future Elon Musk's car tunnel in Vegas will be in the list too.

State created projects, like Crossrail, HS1 and 2 and CAHSR are different, of course, and after these bankruptcies France and Germany decided to make their own public projects anyway.
