Also a video made by a traffic engineer showing how Elon's Boring tunnels wont work because of how the entry and exit points will cause more traffic jams than his tunnels will alleviate.
Yep. That’s how I got to this article. I saw a YouTube video that was about two weeks old. I feel a little stupid because I posted thinking that this article was written May of this year. No, it’s from May 2019, but still entirely relevant. An FR search yielded no articles on debunking the hyperloop or Elon catching heat for it, so I figured what the heck. I posted it under chat figuring the mods would go a little easier on that.

For some reason that made me think of the river in my mountain area. In the late 1800’s some bright folk about 30 miles upriver from Asheville decided to build a steamboat to run tourists up and down the river. The boat was built and they discovered on their maiden voyage that it was too large to fit under a road bridge 1/2 way to the city.
They tied it to the bank, stripped the machinery off it and burned it to the waterline.
