        Yes, but also not quite. More like airport rail systems, but with unjoined cars that aren't scheduled, but run continuously between fixed points. - TWuG Jan 7, 16:45
      - assuming the homeless don't take it over as a warm underground shelter -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 7, 15:19

        The Southwest's water problem isn't really about how it is moved about, but who gets access to it and how much there is to begin with. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 16:52

- The hyperloop is a fraud aimed at stopping the development of high speed rail in America -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 13:59 11
  - We need high speed rail, but that is a solution for inter-city travel and less so for intra-city travel. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 16:54 6
    - That is so not true. Look at Europe and how their rail system is for people to travel all over the continent. We should have that for our - Krusty Jan 7, 18:54 2
      - That's what "inter" means: between. Between cities. Intra means within. -- nm - TWuG Jan 7, 22:19 1
        
        Why is it good enough for travel between cities but not within the cities? Costs? -- nm - Krusty Jan 8, 04:51
    - Cars are not the solution for improving intra-city travel. In fact, they are rather the enemy of the concept. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 17:22 2
      - What I'm saying is the implementations as in Las Vegas aren't going to be a substitute for high speed rail. And are cheaper than subway lines - TWuG Jan 7, 17:49 1
        
        ah, thanks for clarifying -- nm - Beryllium Jan 7, 17:49
  - There it is. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 15:29

    - the idea that Kev is savvy enough to fuck over his hostage takers is kind of belied by the fact that it took 15 and a half votes to become speaker -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 7, 14:08
- He will have to put their asks in the rules package or he will never be able to work with them (and probably others) again. But, other republicans - pmb Jan 7, 13:30
- Dem support, lol -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 12:53 2
