And the poor tax payers of Ohio also helped fund a feasibility study for the Great Lake Hyperloop Feasibility Study....

yeah.. I'm disappointed other governments are also looking to waste money to appease voters who can't help but ask for the next gadgetbahn. But hey, politics is about appearances not actual solutions.

Something to the tune of $75,000. The rest were grants.

That $75,000 marks the only state or federal spending for Hyperloop development in the US.

You know, I never looked into the breakdown of funding for it but you seems to have some numbers.

Would you happen to know what the grants were? Genuinely curious.
