    I am really thankfull for the Hyperloop hype, it has given me soo much insight on how to spot idiotic hypes, grifters with slick graphics and snake oil salesmen.

    Hyperloop has always existed to present a near impossible idea to replace genuine high speed rail discussions. Why build a known male high speed train that moves half the speed of a jet liner with five times the load at a fraction of the fuel cost when you can do that same thing inside a depressurized tube the length of a city?

    Hyperloop is snake oil.
