Engineers Just Submitted an Incredible Proposal to Turn the US Border Wall Into a Hyperloop (Mexican, drug)

[GoCardinals]

The Trump administration is reviewing design bids for its proposed wall along the US-Mexico border. But not all plans are interpreting the word 'wall' literally.

A group of Mexican and American engineers and urban planners called MADE Collective want to build a US$1 trillion hyperloop transportation network instead

Sounds catchy and interesting but what's goal of this hyper-loop?

Provide an expensive travel service based on technology that is in very early stages of development to a few people who want to travel from San Diego to Southern Texas?

Would this be like a revolving door?

Hyper fast deportations?

Sure, why not. Go ahead and build it. What's another trillion on the debt.

There was also a plan to have the nuclear plants pay for the wall by using it to bury their nuclear waste deep down underneath it.

I guess that would stop drug traffickers from attempting to dig tunnels underneath the wall.

Looks like people could still walk under the structure.

This is the first I've heard of this proposal. I don't think so. I know that Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are in the running. Other places in the USA as well, St Louis and KC was another I've read about. The idea is interesting, kind of makes me think of those crazy vacuum things at the drive through at the bank! But it would make no sense running it along the border.

Has nothing to do with any kind of wall. Supposedly will transport people, for example, from Dallas to Austin in 20 minutes, which is about a 3.5 hour car trip. Gives me the willies.
