hmm how do you suggest funding it then? fewer champions now across state govt and general public

how are they currently finding it? IIRC most high speed lines in Japan are funded by zero-interest gov loans for construction

honestly mostly unknown. some state taxpayer funds + federal monies for first leg (10% of total cost). Rest is tbdpic.twitter.com/vAynAQWjq4

ugh, what a mess...watch the final product end up costing more than flights anyway

how on earth are Americans so good a fucking up incredibly straightforward projects like this, IDGI

I know!!! which is why I'm tempted to scrap this and just wait for the hyperloop tbh

idk I'd rather keep the project, hang everyone involved, hire new ppl and resume
