Elon’s Las Vegas hyperloop transit system was supposed to provide a constant stream of self-driving vehicles going 150mph between 55 stations. This guy found it normally has two Teslas with drivers, but this day had one, going 35mph between 3 stations, 10am to 9pm.

Apparently a good proportion of punters just ride the whole loop to see the LED lighting — presumably after they’ve exhausted the city’s various above-ground light displays — since it fails as a transit system. Because only 1 car can be in the tunnel, waits are 7 to 12 minutes

There aren’t alternative markets for the largest Canadian exports.
As I wrote in November, Canada is the country most vulnerable to tariffs because it doesn’t have alternative markets, and in many sectors can’t, for most of its exports.
That figure is devastating
Canada has borne the brunt of the damage from US tariffs so far, with its long-run economy -2.1% smaller in real terms. China’s economy is -0.2% smaller, about 1/2 as large as the hit to the US. The UK’s is 0.2% bigger thanks in part to the benefits of US-UK trade deal. 8/10
I think I first read it in a student-press songbook from the late ‘60s or ‘70s
I always preferred the Canadian version
This land is your land This land is my land This land is no land It’s Baffin Island From the Arctic Circle To the Arctic Circle This land is floating on the sea
Quite aside from this fact, the “your” in “This land is your land” quite explicitly encompasses the very people who DHS are setting out to deport
Woody Guthrie’s classic song is about America’s history of injustice and poverty. Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is using it in ads.
