  Hey there, Florida and California, don't build any high speed rail! In just five years, we can build a magical system of tubes that will be twice as fast and cost half as much! Sure, it will always be just five years away, but that is a small price to pay!

  Yeah, that was the laughingstock I mentioned. It's basically a really terrible highway underground that's worse in just about every possible way from a normal highway. If I recall it's a 2 lane road and the top speed was only like 35 mph or something. It's a complete joke.

It's always seemed like a laundering scheme to me.

Although they did actually market and sell oversized lighters at a hefty profit (as "flamethrowers").

That's not true! They made 20,000 flamethrowers!
