  Hello everybody and welcome back to the show.
• 2:20
  My name is well Walden. We're gonna be talking about the
• 2:24
  boring company today. But first, I want to say thank
• 2:27
  you for everybody who subscribed to the channel without you.
• 2:30
  I couldn't do this. So, if you haven't subscribed
• 2:32
  yet in, you like this kind of content, make sure to hit that
• 2:36
  button. And here we go.
• 2:38
  Let's talk about the boring company.
• 2:41
  So boring company just broke ground in law.
• 2:45
  Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Convention Center.
• 2:49
  That's where this thing is positioned under the ground.
• 2:52
  It's 40 feet, I believe 40 feet. Let me take a look here, 40 feet
• 2:55
  below the ground right now in it broke ground a couple days ago.
• 3:00
  What's going to be happening? Is that the boring company is
• 3:05
  building a tunnel underneath Las Vegas?
• 3:08
  And it's really important for Vegas because there's a lot of
• 3:11
  traffic in Vegas and this is a way for them to move.
• 3:15
  People around Vegas, not on streets.
• 3:19
  So you'll be able to take your car.
• 3:20
  You'll be able to move yourself under Vegas.
• 3:27
  There's going to be stations at new exhibit hall, Central Hall
• 3:30
  and red lot near the South Hall. So that's about a one mile area.
• 3:38
  And this is significant because the boring company is a it's
• 3:44
  sort of like Like a an afterthought, you know to Elon
• 3:50
  musk's reign of all have his cool stuff all this technology
• 3:54
  stuff. So SpaceX and Tesla get most of
• 3:56
  the you know most of the press but boring company.
• 4:00
  It's kind of like yeah, what is that thing?
• 4:02
  What do they do? Well, they make tunnels.
• 4:05
  They make Tunnels for people to go through and it's really
• 4:08
  amazing because people have been building Tunnels for a long
• 4:13
  time. You know, we have tunnels in the
• 4:15
  In the trains, in New York, the Subways all over the place.
• 4:20
  Every major city probably has a Subway and this is one of those
• 4:26
  occasions where Elon musk's boring company said, hey, we can
• 4:31
  do this. You know, we can, we can build
• 4:34
  you a tunnel and this is what's going to help you.
• 4:38
  It's a, it's a way for people to move around, Vegas faster, and
• 4:45
  Easier because it's going to stop traffic jams.
• 4:49
  You know it it's proven the more cars it is just like very simple
• 4:55
  math. The more cars the more
• 4:57
  congestion people can't get around if you need to go between
• 5:02
  point a and point B and there's a lot of stuff in your way.
• 5:06
  The easiest way to get from point A to point B at that
• 5:08
  point, is to go over or under it.
• 5:11
  It's hard to go over the thing and hard to go over all those
• 5:15
  people because your vehicle doesn't have a propulsion
• 5:19
  system, that'll fly you into the air.
• 5:21
  Now what Elon musk's porn company says is hey we can take
• 5:26
  you under the Earth. We can take you below everybody
• 5:28
  else, just zoom underneath and you'll get to your destination
• 5:33
  faster, less congestion, less people, better traffic flow.
• 5:38
  So they're going to be doing the boring.
• 5:43
  For about 100 feet per day and then the TBC hopes to increase
• 5:50
  that pace during it the underground people movers
• 5:54
  development. So we're going to start at 100
• 5:57
  feet per day possibly go longer than that.
• 6:00
  The boring company, President Steve Davis said less than one
• 6:03
  year ago. The project was just an idea on
• 6:05
  paper today. We're ready to begin tunneling.
• 6:08
  It's going to take them a while to get all this stuff done so
• 6:10
  people can actually drive on it buddy.
• 6:12
  Said thanks to our partners at the Las Vegas Convention and
• 6:15
  visitors Authority for the opportunity to build our first
• 6:18
  commercial project. Here, we are excited about the
• 6:20
  future of loop transportation in Las Vegas, hyperloop, possibly
• 6:27
  super fast. Super super fast transportation
• 6:32
  for people, so they're going to be doing this until January of
• 6:37
  twenty Twenty-One. The People Mover will be
• 6:40
  comprised of two vehicular tunnels with an expected.
• 6:43
  It looked or total length of approximately one mile each
• 6:46
  system will have the potential in the future to expand in link
• 6:49
  icky, visitor, attractions throughout Vegas downtown,
• 6:52
  Vegas, Las Vegas, strip McCarran, International Airport,
• 6:55
  and Beyond. So, this is just the beginning.
• 6:57
  They're only going to do a small portion and if this works is
• 7:00
  kind of like a test. So if this works, they'll be all
• 7:04
  over the place. They'll be able to Tunnel
• 7:05
  everywhere. So there's essential system
• 7:10
  components in elevator or escalator system.
• 7:13
  For passengers to access the station pedestrian entrances.
• 7:17
  Exits, coverings from the elements and Landscaping tunnel
• 7:21
  lighting, power and video, surveillance systems a control
• 7:24
  room cell phone Wi-Fi, intercom PA remote data in ventilation
• 7:29
  Life Safety Systems. So basically they're building a
• 7:35
  subway system, that's pretty much what it seems like but you
• 7:39
  know, the loop the hyperloop lets you go.
• 7:42
  Superfast and that will be in the future.
• 7:46
  The tourism industry. In southern Nevada, generates 60
• 7:52
  billion dollars. In income, what the heck?
• 7:58
  That's so much money. 60 billion dollars as three hundred eighty
• 8:02
  three thousand jobs in Sixteen point four billion dollars in
• 8:05
  local wages and salaries, 3383 thousand jobs.
• 8:11
  So this will help people move around faster, get to where they
• 8:14
  want to go. Get to their jobs faster, get to
• 8:16
  the places that they need to go to.
• 8:19
  Well, it's Vegas. So, let's go have some fun.
• 8:22
  Go to the shows. Go gambling, Etc, So my friends,
• 8:26
