Even the worst, least well-planned, befuddlingly ignorant ideas can't be carried out in this country
I wouldn’t cal it ignorant. Its sole purpose was to divert public funds from any practicable public transit projects.
True, but it also proved how many people weren't aware of how difficult digging is
IIRC, the Boring Company's Boring machines were one of the things that actually worked, in that they could dig a tunnel faster than the competition. The problem is how hot the cutting head gets and how frequently you have to replace it - turns out previous generations of boring machines had more or less figured out the optimum ratio of cutting speed to maintenance interval, so going faster is a marketing gimmick.
give me and the boys some pickaxes and a case of beer and we could have done it faster
