Innovations

In the industry of modern transportation a void has occured that eliminated progress.  Effectively, China and Elon Musk are the new leaders.

The stale stinch of thoughtless corpse activity instructs the minds for government training as the political machine serves to avarice its elite.  The decay from corruption disolves America's infrastructure.  As with insight from a speechless statue, a statement of philosophical perspective changes nothing.

Meanwhile, the few with an ability to see and enact change, perceive progression to mankind's growth.  Where are human's going?  Everyday, Earth spins another rotation and a new day appears. To this; Urban Growth is a phenomenally important topic.  Using a completely unsustainable component as its foundation to automobile centric land-use design, Western Society commits socitial suidide.

To see into the future one must have vision.  All planners need vision.  Everyone involved in growth need vision.  Politics and government lack vision.

Rule Number One in public transportation: it looses money.

Enter the innovators.  Today's post: Virgin Hyperloop One

Boring News

In an important news piece: Los Angeles Daily News, November 21, 2017, the article describes work being done by The Boring Company in LA.  This is such a huge undertaking and is completely ignored by everyone.

What is going on?  The article highlights activity from Elon Musk's tunnel company.  Two miles have been dug since August.  The article is vague in describing what is at play.  This means speculation is necessary.

In related activity, this action from The Boring Company should be compared to the actions of the government with the giant money waste in Central California.  The friends of political powers are receiving $hundreds of millions while Musk has invested his own money in equipment, manpower, and permits.  The more significant comparison is that the government project spends huge sums of money and brings no transportation solutions.

Musk's tunneling provides the only modern day solution to transportation infrastructure.  Whether the results of The Boring Company's work are acquired by HyperLoop or another new technology transit system, this infrastructure is instrumental in the birth to implement the future of transportation.  

Dirty Air

When things sometimes don't seem to make a lot of sense, one looks for solutions.  Scanning the headlines this morning shows a plague of disaster.  Wild fires exploding with tretcherous violence.  Meanwhile, in the State Capital; legislators declare finacial disaster onto it's citizens.  Amazing how the bad air generated from natural disasters is used as a claim that the darkened skys are a product of mankind's efforts.  Another marketing lie in the process of corrupt political practice.

Public Transit

The US has become a technological embarrassment in the world of transit.  As science teaches that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, financially; man's greed in the political realm lines the pockets of the politically connected at the cost of stealing from its citizens.  

Twenty years ago China was a relatively poor country.  Corporate profiteering enabled the Chinese economy to increase.  This post a commentary to transportation, not an epithet to business.  The intent of the post is to make the accusation towards US politicians of stealing progress and success from citizens they represent.  

The latest in world news places China far beyond other countries, especially the USA; in modern public transportation.  In the 1960s, two physicists were awarded grants for magnetically levitated (maglev) transit vehicles.  Although the technology has grown to its fourth generation, only Japan is utilizing this technology, adapting the 2nd generation into building the world's fastest train.  

While California had the opportunity to utilize the 300mph German maglev train technology, the engaged political figures opted for the 200mph European heavy steel wheel train due to their personally lucrative financial benefits.  Meanwhile, China opted to grant the German maglev technology opportunity and allowed the first high speed maglev train its public operation; opening the 19 mile line in 2004.  

Since China's move to advances in public transit, it now hosts its own maglev technology, and this technology is growing:  chinadaily.com.2017-03/01

The status-quo of corrupt politicians is detrimental to its citizenry. 

It's 2017, the future is already here

It's already close to the end of the second month of 2017.  Where are the flying cars and cities in space?  In the 1950's, the future was promised to be futuristic.  Somebody lied.  

Instead of a prosperous world of robot assisted convenient advances, we find ourselves caught in a trap we weren't even aware of.  The automobile caused its car culture to be completely dependent upon it.  There is an inherent problem to a civilization who's foundation is wholly unsustainable.  The design of all urban growth has been captured and suppressed by the automobile.  Dependence to the automobile in every aspect of its culture has halted transportation expansion.  Magnetically levitated personal transportation devices are no more closer to development than they were 70 years ago.  Phones, television, computerization and other technologies have made significant advances over the past few decades but, the automobile is only safer to drive.  Age and increased use wears a heavy toll to the deterioration of roadways.  

It's time to expand transportation into the future and go beyond the unsustainable limitations of the automobile.
