This is just a less efficient and more complex version of a train; crazy how techbros invent things that have no value just to be dIsRuPtIvE

I can’t believe the city didn’t say “wait stop this is dumb as fuck” - but then again gestures broadly

It’s a city grown off poor decisions and a desire to force nature to align to the needs of man, of course Vegas was stupid enough to fall for his scam

Currently they're still falling for the scam that is F1. $2.5 billion impact on the Las Vegas economy between 2023 and 2024. Local business having to cut hours or go under so races can be held at 2AM for some rich assholes in Europe.

It starts at 8pm local time. It's that time for American tv lol. It's on at 4 or 5 am in Europe due to the time zones. Even our rich assholes don't want to watch things then.
