And even before that the Swiss seriously studied the possiblity and gave up.

Swiss are known for nazi gold and secret banks. Not really building infrastructure for the masses

Uh. Buddy. They absolutely are known for building a shitload of trains. There's the Gottard, which is the longest tunnel through a mountain, and I think also the steepest railtracks in the world?

You've never heard of swiss trains always being on time?

Don't forget they're also known for cocaine!

Lol I didn't get the reference before

(There was a post about Switzerland considering legalizing cocaine cus they have so much and it's so pure & common, apparently)

Will the newly proposed tunnel under the Angeles National Forest break that record or because it's under not through it's in a different category?

Japanese trains being on time. Never heard of swiss.

Haven't heard if their engineering prestige.

When I think swiss I think corruption and chocolate. Maybe watch makers too. Apologies

Well if you’ve never heard of it, then you must be right. Or it could be that maybe you have no clue what you’re talking about. No that couldn’t be it.

It blows my mind that you’ve never heard of Swiss engineering, but I guess the whole world is wrong since you’re clueless to it. Case closed.

He relented. No need to go so hard. Try to have some empathy, even if his approach was wrong.

That wasn’t me going hard. I was simply meeting their dismissiveness with sarcastic dismissiveness as a way to show them their faulty logic.
