this will never ever be built.

they are trying to pull a "Star Wars 2.0".

ray-gun tried this shit. everyone knew it was never ever going to work, especially back then when the tech to attempt something like that didn't exist.

now the tech bros have convinced the orange ignoramus to try again.

and just like last time (like during ray-guns time), he too sees dollar signs.

it was a grift back then, it's a grift now.

this will just further deepen our debt and enrich the ultra wealthy.

just. like. last. time.
