I forgot about that guy. Per their website, breaking ground on test projects in 2019 for operation in 2020. No further details provided.

Funny how the future happens regardless of if you're ready for it or not.

He's probably smart enough that he has a script that updates those years every … year.

Is there a MIT sex offender club or just like, informal gatherings where they could get together to discuss libertarian ideals.

(Or threats?) In 2018 he told a newspaper that he would step down as CEO if they revealed his past. They revealed his criminal past, and included that promise in the article. He's still CEO.

What about more water taxis? A route from the Conley Terminal to Design Center, Fish Pier, Fan Pier, South Station, to Gillette and back seems like a winner. Would even make for an easy North-South Rail link using the mothballed water taxi station at North Station next to the MSP barracks.

The North South Rail Link is necessary. Water taxis connecting our two dead head rail stations would be a rarely used novelty and another dead end transportation stop gap.
