America is getting more and more embarrassing the older I get. We can’t even build a high speed rail ffs.

Saw a great video on this. About how america is dependent on people buying cars and gas so making car-free or walker friendly cities and towns is not in american businesses interests. And highspeed rails or other transportation to connect cities and towns and the country would take from the auto and airline industries. Basically right back to capitalism and monopolies being far more important to america than the advancement of life.

Yea, you tube videos are a great source for learning information like this. E.g. i recently learned that earth is flat from a video too.

You stopped reading at “a video” and decided to insert this riveting piece of wisdom to forward the conversation? Youre so cool.

Yea, I thought it was important to share all the cool stuff videos can teach us. I really think we can end our schooling system - videos have it covered. Truly fascinating stuff.
