You're not getting a tunnel.
"The Boring Company" doesn't make tunnels.
It takes taxpayer money then hires expensive lawyers to fight against the money being refunded.
Instead of this, you could publicly try Elon Musk and seize his wealth and make Tennessee the third richest state. Do that.

So, yeah, even though no one asked me to, I'm publicly endorsing @aftynbehn.bsky.social for TN-07.
I'm a proud person, so y'all know I wouldn't do that if I didn't think that Tennessee needs people right now who acknowledge our problems and wants to fix them, and I think Behn can.

Especially in Nashville there's a basically limitless sea of voters who either don't know there is an election or don't realize it is within 2,000-3,000 votes.
Nashville has like 80,000 eligible Dem voters who could potentially be turned out.

@peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and Dr. Fauci were among the few whose guidance I trusted during the heights of COVID-19. I’m glad I found him on here dismissing the autism-vaccine link.
How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.
