The answer to the first question is... Money!
The answer to the second question is... Money!
The answer to the third question is... Money!
Just stating the obvious...
> I think maglev trains could change the way we travel today.
The TGV already did that.
> They are quiet, stable, and they run on electricity.
So is the TGV, so does the TGV.
> I don't see why maglev trains shouldn't be a great victory for the environment.
The TGV already is.
> Therefor, my view is that the world should finance China in creating this.
Why ? If china wants it, they can finance it. If the maglev is economicaly sound, the capitalist pigs will do it all by themselves.
Please note that we don't need "maglev trains". We need "fast and efficient trains".
The only thing "special" about maglevs is the placement of the engine (on the tracks). That makes it quite expensive, so before we start "financing china" maybe we should check if it really is that good.
I tend to fill up their forms as a black female (lesbian, if it's an option) esquimo CEO doing about $20.000.000/year. Curiously, spam from that vector ceases quite quickly. Maybe they have a problem with esquimos ?
You say: "If I commit a crime that requires me to be taken to jail, I'm supporting the (often very lucrative) incarceration industry, and jails are usually located where jobs are scarce, my murder 1 is particularly beneficial to the community. Should that money be attributed to me?"
I say: If the "victim" is one William Gates III, the answer is yes.

Given that 99% of the PC's in the world are running Micro$oft OSes, that can only be a rethoric question.
Right ?
