    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.

    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.

      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.

    • 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.
