The stories I could tell! Unfortunately all would be off topic. 
$MAGP: Ya... Saudis are shit for brains
I think everyone knows that.
They just hit the jackpot with a boatload Oil under their feet but
even to extract it, store it and distribute was never in their wheelhouse.
They are buying out whatever they can with their riches because
they are on borrowed time but they know how the money game works.
Just name the price and buy 'em out.
Nothing is more valuable than Intellectual Property and R&D.
95% of the Saudi population is an uneducated lot.
Its just that they are using Americans as pawns.
Case in point. Then again... he isn't the first thing you think of
when it comes to "High IQ"

$MAGP: I think it has with Rail Lobbyists or something
Just look at how much money the top 5 are spending on lobbying
DC.
https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/lobbying.php?ind=M04++
But don't worry... Look at #7 on the List.
Its the Northeast MagLev... they are spending too but not as much.
Its not easy to get them on board but eventually it'll happen.
Even Chinas Transit system is going MagLev.
America is Falling behind on Infrastructure & Development and
the archaic train system is just an example of it.
China has unbelievable technology... US has a Dumbass President hanging
around with Saudis and yielding swords.
$MAGP: China increasing usage of MagLev technology
