I mean, just do it anyway, onion or not. Bring some joviality to politics.

One-stop-slop that is.

Nope, I was wrong entirely. I deleted my comment and added the below in. Youre dead on about vegas killing it for the loop:

Based on the most recent article I can find with the head of the monorail system, you're right:

How do the Monorail and the Vegas Loop complement each other? What’s the future of the monorail? Are there plans to get another leg of that going?

What we plan to do is run the Monorail the way it is, until we can’t anymore. What will almost certainly determine that is the trains wearing out. We’ve got nine trains, if we were going to replace them right now it would probably be a $300 million purchase, and we can’t afford to do that. Nobody else could either. Once that stops, our plan is to use the monorail structure, the stanchions, take the track off and put a two-lane road on top of the monorail and tie it into the (underground Vegas Loop) system.

Any guesses of the Monorail lifespan?

We keep saying eight or 10 years.

There were some light rail conversations on and off for maybe the past decade. Would light rail help?

Taking a lane off the Strip for light rail seems counterproductive. The properties have never supported it. And if you don’t take the traffic away, then I don’t know that light rail speeds anything up. I mean, if you’re able to run in the same lane as the train, then I don’t know (if) that does you a whole lot of good. But it’s a very expensive system to put in. One of the real benefits of (the underground system) is it’s free. The Boring Company is paying for all the tunnels, and the properties are paying for all the stations. There’s no public money going into the system.

He goes into it in the video, but the Las vegas monorail runs to many of the same locations, is cash positive, and is the 13th most used mass transit system in the US.

The issue in Vegas is that mass transit doesn't fit a "luxury" experience that every bit of vegas is trying to sell you to fleece your pockets. The loop, especially the "new" stops that are literally benches outside of hotels with no tunnels, don't either, but the "private chauffeur" pitch of the Tesla tunnels at least fit the grift.

Fema, after announcing that, revoked it after backlash and claimed it was never an "official" directive, even though it was offically announced by Fema.

Absolute clown car, but probably good enough for the conservatives to fall back in line entirely.

Home ownership is a public record.

"Blackrock" isn't gonna give you much info to work with, unless you want to burn down the houses they own. Unfortunately, lots of innocent people live in them, so that isn't a good answer there either.

If it can kill us, it can kill them.

"Incorrect claims," i.e "lies."

Another comparison is that a "standard" US reactor will output 1GW of power at steady state.

This data center would require 7000 nuclear reactors, just for it. The US current has 98 active reactors.

We are a ways away.
