      The irony of the hyper loop actually killing a proper high speed rail system is just 👨‍🍳💋

          Oh, I know. I’m just amused at the irony over Cali getting hoodwinked by the Simpsons monorail salesman and that what it stopped was basically what the Simpsons guy was selling, only real.

          At least what the monorail guy was selling seemed legit, hyperloop was dumb from the start (lengthy tubes under vacuum that are big enough to put a vehicle through?) and felt like people were cashing in on not having public transportation you shared with other people.
