Maglev is Dumb

All this crap about the Maglev is pointless. It’s been dormant for years, it’s insanely expensive, and perhaps most importantly, the current round of funding from the government is for standard High Speed Rail using steel wheels on steel rails. It’s NOT for maglev. It is a separate project within the Federal Railroad Administration. Irregardless (my favorite non-word) I’d rather take a 1 in 10 shot at getting to Cleveland and beyond on a really fast train than a 1 in 100 (I’m being generous) shot of eventually getting to Philadelphia on a really really really fast Maglev.
