Comment The NHTSA is unconstitutional. (Score 0) 267

Shut it down.

All of this stuff is better handled locally, or state-wide. The bureaucracy of the NHTSA is mind boggling, and the fact that folks look at their headline name but never what they actually do all year long doesn't surprise me.

"What about the children!" has never prefaced citizen safety or well being.

Hyperloops are just a popularization of an older sci-fi concept, Evacuated Transport Tubes. There are places where they could work and be amazing - essentially bridging two cities together to seem like they're a short subway's ride apart. Think cities in the midwest.

The largest bloat of our federal government is federal agencies taking vaguely worded laws and inventing entire bureaucracies to enforce their arbitrary interpretations of what those laws actually mean. This puts the appeal of the legality of those laws back into the courts, which is where we're supposed to be able to seek redress when we disagree with our government.
