What makes more sense? Setting the budget, acquiring the land, completing the designs, figuring out the logistics, and beginning construction for a mass transit system in the select cities that are viable for them or spending money fixing/updating infrastructure that already exist that is already in use ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. Infrastructure that can be used for public transit like bus lines THEN starting projects for mass transit systems. Ppl use roads NOW and spending billions on mass transit systems while our current main form of transportation has been falling a part for decades in a country that is the 2nd largest economic zone on Earth makes no fucking sense. You’re idea is like installing solar panels on a house with holes in its floor.

I don’t know where you get this idea that US road infrastructure is the only thing that gets funding considering American transit scores are about the same as its roads. They both fucking suck or I guess there’s a collasal difference between a D and a D-.

Roads Transit

The real problem is that you people don’t want public transport. Or rather, you want public transport but magically without affecting your cars infrastructure. So politicians have no incentive to invest in public transit, quite the opposite.

Yeah because shifting 333.3 million ppl over 3,809,525 Sq miles of land to mainly using public transit by tearing down highways in Bumble Fuck Indiana and Middlefuckingnowhere Montana makes perfect sense. Not to mention changing the logistics of shipping select goods across the country.

Also politicians have spent money on transit. 52 new systems and 124 extensions have opened in the past 20 years. It just takes fucking time to build public transit. Meanwhile ppl still have to go to work so tearing down highways before building public transit makes zero sense.

It’s almost like different countries have different circumstances that can’t be applied everywhere else and being practical about your decision making so it doesn’t negatively affecting others you may not be thinking about is a good idea

Unless Young Thug is a domestic terrorist this shouldn’t be headlining news

Give up your cars for what? There is no viable public transit in the US. Amtrak is a joke and NYC’s subways are falling a part. Same for Boston, DC, and Philly. The most used public transit systems in the country. You HAVE to be car centric because that’s the only reliable mode of transportation inside and outside of cities. It’s going to take decades to improve public infrastructure to the point public transit is reliable.

We should’ve done this 50 years ago but your blaming ppl for being carcentric in a country who’s public transit is almost nonexistent?

Perfect example. I lived in DC for 4 or 5 years. The metro(subway) was on fire so much it was a common excuse for showing up late for work

Only a fucking idiot would parade around as the assholes who blew half your country to smithereens and actively murdered your grandparents.

As an American living in NRW, German trains are a well oiled machine compared to their US counterparts. Our trains constantly derail, catch fire, break down etc. I love having S-bahn, U-bahn, and RE compared to the underfunded death traps that are Amtrack, and major city subway systems. It sucks occasionally but I don’t fear for my life on a German train

people are too car-brained to admit how awful the situation is.

I challange you to find one American who doesn’t constantly complain about their local roads. I’ve driven everywhere across the US excluding the pacific north west and everywhere I’ve been ppl complain about lack of up keep. Rightfully so

I’m thinking leaded gasoline, lead paint, and asbestos had a bigger hand in it

IRS criticized for not receiving the manpower and funding to do their job

No…

Ok I have no clue what you’re arguing for or against.

I mean it’s a competition like finding which turd has the most worms in it. Either way you’re studying a piece of shit

I did

Well Thatcher’s family didn’t profit off slavery and colonialism. At least directly…

I think i speak for most black ppl when I say they can have them. Last time we picked vegetables and fruit a war broke out when we wanted to stop

Or fuel the prison industrial complex sustaining a constant supply of slave labor and state funding for private prisons

The United States of America used to be thought of as an ideal, an aspiration.

For white ppl and select immigrants. For everyone else this country has always been a shithole

Because letting jackasses in congress set regulatory precedent on things they know jack shit about has always worked out

In true American fashion dating all the way back to its founding, you only matter if you own property.

Cruelty. That’s the point

Funny how you folks complain about voter apathy but never critique the cause.
