War as a Business

Not a shocking thing to say when you analyze any well documented war from it`s buildup to it`s end.
Common in all wars and particular to the next big one the prominent result of buildup to fighting a war has a common thread. War creates jobs, these jobs create consumers who consume everything from bullets to body bags.

The confluence of forces for the next global conflict are in place and the shear amount of investment money looking for a viable investment will drive it to conclusion.
The alternative is to create enough jobs through a viable investment of a sustainable nature.
We can not only equal the number of jobs a world war would create but as war is inherently unsustainable we only need to apply sustainable to the formula of jobs.

This would entail a global project capable of creating at least as many jobs as workers worldwide and of a sustainable nature. This comes in the form of a 0 emission global transportation system.
The potential to create more jobs than workers means we have to feed the worlds hungry which I`ll get into the how on a later thread.

This thread is about an individual vehicle magnetic lift, magnetic propulsion, transportation system.
It will create more jobs than workers, 0 emissions, fewer paved roads, no gridlock, high speed, 300+ kph and theoretically could replace our aging electric transmission grids and of course cutting commute times by 75%.
At speed a single rail will move as many vehicles as a 6 lane freeway.
Step one is a global university competition for the best design. Canada could start it off with $50m for our universities while that would encourage more and more countries to join in.
These are the kinds of things we expect from government and if I had $50m I`d give it to myself to get this started.
