OT: Maglev Trains

I’ve always been interested in them and wondered why they never came to the states. I guess at this juncture it’s just not worth the cost. That California high speed rail is turning out to be a shit show costs wise.

Projects like this requires centralized planning and long term commitment on the economic model. Europe and especially Asia does a much better job on these kind of infrastructure projects.

The US doesn't seem to have the appetite or patience to take on these type of projects.
