Elon Musk’s Vegas Loop project racks up serious safety violations — Workers describe routine chemical burns, permanent scarring to limbs, and violations that call into question claims of innovative…::The Boring Company’s tiny Las Vegas Loop is all that’s come of Musk’s promises to build superfast mass-transit “hyperloops.” Workers say its tunnels are packed with chemical sludge.
It seems like they would have been better off making subways not gonna lie.
No, see underground traffic jams are so much better!
This was much more entertaining than I was expecting.
The news lady’s “oh shit” was the most accurate review I’ve ever heard.

The rich want something they’d use.
And the rich won’t mix with the poor drunks in vegas who would use a subway.
It’s just a tunnel with human-driven Tesla cars in it. How do they even manage to fuck it up that bad?
Tunnels need to be large so they can have safety features like emergency walkways and air conducts. Musk’s tunnel is just large enough to contain a car, because every inch of diameter costs an enormous amount of money.
Before this project Musk boasted that his Boring company can do tunnels much cheaper than traditional companies, this tunnel showed how.
How someone is calling this innovation is beyond me.
And transporting people in individual cars is the least efficient use of a tunnel. Even his original idea sucked, where a car is placed over a platform.

It’s the most Los Angeles solution to a problem I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile London has had its underground trains since 1863.
Carbrains keep reinventing the wheel with individual cars, the hyperloop stans also like to hype their innovative idea of automating cars to link together on highways to “streamline traffic and achieve better speed”
Don’t you dare call it a train, they will fucking melt down on you.
I thought hyperloop literally sucked vehicles through the airtight tunnels. :-)

Well, yeah, but both maglev and vacuum are high maintenance. Doing both seems like asking for constant downtime due to failures.
Where’s the Department of Labor? OSHA? Sounds like a workplace investigation needs to occur.
