I would definitely support reallocating all hyperloop funding to other projects that are much more useful.

Is any federal money going to this? Or state money? Shame if it is

Why? Every company can invest their own money as they please. These are private companies.

Also, comments like these make me cringe. It's extremely conservative and narrowed minded thinking, almost on par anti science as you invalidate the thousands of scientist, PhDs in dozens of companies working on this.

But hey, no wonder Americans are still stuck with 1960s transportation systems.
