Well once the green new deal is implemented, there won’t be any natural disasters anymore.

It has to be clear and the train has to have large windows and a glass ceiling so you can see the ocean life around you.

I think it should be mentioned that there already is one. It’s called a boat.

You know how in Middle East countries, when they want a house on the beach, they just build themselves an island? Or in China (or was it Japan) they just made an island on which to put an airport? Like that. Just build up land then put a road on it. How hard can it be?

You shouldn't be focused on "something that will actually work" instead of cheering her on!

remove the engines and fuel tanks from current aircraft, then build huge versions of these to launch. Just point that sumbitch the direction you want to fly and let r rip.

It would probably have to be some version of the vacuum tube, maglev proposal they’ve suggested for NY to London with a Hawaii layover. The distances are so freaking far so you need the speed, but I don’t know if the Pacific is worse than the Atlantic in regards to current.

Proposed concept

Rainbows and unicorn farts just like all the Democrats ideas.

Free college and free healthcare, who’s going to pay, we’ll pay with unicorn farts.
