I can't help wondering what would happen if all this money was invested in buses (both on-demand and scheduled to accommodate those in rural areas where it's arguably too expensive to have a regular schedule) and trains.

We have an ageing population globally, and given the delays/lack of scale /etc of autonomous shuttles and cars, there's going to be a whole lot of people prohibited from accessing in-person services and participating in daily life.

Hyperloop will not happen anytime soon, they are still in the R&D and partnerships phase by and large.

A substantial majority of people didn't want to be around Jews or black people for very similar reasons at certain points in history. They felt they had a duty to "shun" them for being different.

See where this thinking brings you? Once someone gets to decide who is right and who is degenerate, that's when society becomes unbearable for innocent people.
