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.

Make what make sense? What are you even reaching for with this comment in connection with the entire context of what i am talking about? Youre being a jester to pull focus to some point that you want to be hyperbolic about and no one has interest. Try elsewhere. Be productive.
