A $20 trillion project proposes a 3,400-mile underwater tunnel connecting London and New York, potentially reducing a 7-hour flight to a 1-hour train ride.
Yea or nay?

That's the entire annual product of the US economy.
How in the hell is that supposed to be recouped by reduced travel time to the UK of all places?
Haha
Lolz, two nations drownig in debt with having lost all engineering capability to brain drain decades ago. Just pay people to dig some holes there are easier ways to fleece the public.
I don't know about the UK, but I don't think the problem with the US is brain drain. I think maybe all our engineering talent went into building useless social media products, or into extractive rather than surplus-producing companies.
yes, that is what i meant by brain-drain. Not physically leaving, but rather how we spend money training engineers in schools only to have them go to the highest bidders (rationally) to work for Goldman Sachs or what not.
We can't even make a high speed rail above ground in the US, how we gonna do that under the Atlantic hahah

They should probably start with somewhere closer like New York to Boston.
YAY!
Weird how as soon as there is any talk of a US-Russia tunnel, the British get so terrified of losing influence/relevance they start polluting the information space with retarded ideas like this that are 200-2000x more expensive.
If Musk is behind this project, it might just become a reality! Damn, he's a genius!
