      I couldn’t care less, as long as they don’t use hydrogen but helium when they fly over my house.

      But from what I’ve heard from avionic engineers and specialists it’s just stupid. But tell that to startups who got a motherload of money from the government consisting of idiots who pull the government’s wallet after seeing a 10min presentation which is basically a poorly produced animation video.

        Y’know I fucking hate startups simply because they seem to just exist to waste time and money. Doing some fucky R&D for old tech is fine and can be interesting since sometimes someone finds something new to correct old issues, but as soon as a startup gets involved it basically instantly turns into a boondoggle. This is the type of shit that should be left to the Skunkworks and borderline redneck R&D labs in towns you’ve never heard of not some dipshit who thinks innovation means slapping LEDs on everything.

          Hey, I have a great idea for transportation! Pods!

          — every startup these days.

          Always a bunch of tech bro’s who want to reinvent the train but worse, made an animation of it and somehow manage to hoard in millions for just a dumb concept which would never work.
