Hyperloop is vaporware. It was a highly inpractical sci-fi concept when it was dreamt up first a literal century ago and nothing has changed about the laws of physics since then.
I’m not defending hyper loop at all. What in my post is defending him? I’m saying you compare a country where the communist party controls regional governments to California. I hate musk and hyper loop as much as the next person and hope for and dream for high speed rails across the US. But this post doesn’t make sense .
California high speed rail is an actual project which has actually been building actual rail since 2008. It is the only rail megaproject active in the United States. It has many challenges, none of them physics, some of which were mad worse by Musk’s bullshit.
Asking for an actual comparison between the circumstances of the Chinese high speed rail network and the circumstances of the California High Speed Rail project is valid.
No one is defending musk or the shitty loop. California and China can’t be compared. One is a communist state ran by a party where all local governments fall in line and the other is a US state where different laws and controls are in place.
If you look at the context of my comment, you will see I was replying to someone who, it seems, has confused the California high speed rail project with the hyperloop. The first is an actual thing that is being built, the second is a distraction.
As for comparing the situations, of course it can be done. We can look at how the twa countries built rail, see what are fundamental differences and what are things that can be learned.
You just compared them. One can easily provide services for its citizens and also can fuck you over horribly. The other can’t provide services for its citizens and also can really fuck you over if it wants.

Vaporwave doesn’t mean what you think it means.

This response reflects poorly

Why is basic government so hard for people.
Don’t forget you don’t own land in China. You lease it from the central government for 70 years.
