The Boring Sludge Saga: A Tunnel Vision Catastrophe

Workers wading through chemical sludge, suffering burns to their skin and faces — this is the pathetic reality of the Las Vegas tunnel project. A milkshake-like muck, filled with accelerants meant to cure concrete, has become a daily occupational hazard for these poor souls.

How did I, the great visionary and disruptor, allow such a farcical situation to unfold? While countries like China rapidly expand their high-speed rail networks, spanning thousands of miles, my “revolutionary” Boring Company remains stuck in the mud, literally and figuratively.

The Las Vegas Convention Center loop, a mere half-mile underground transit system, has devolved into a regulatory nightmare. Safety violations have piled up like the chemical sludge itself, as state inspectors uncover the sordid truth behind my grand tunneling ambitions.
