      There is a very competent rail network, it's the lifeblood of the supply chain you midwit homosexual. You think resources and consumer goods are just moved around on transport trucks?

      Designing a rail system for moving resources is incredibly advanced and a sign of a high functioning society. Designing a rail system purely for moving PEOPLE around is a sign of a highly authoritarian and regressive society that doesn't value individuality and is probably one step away from communism.

          Yes creating a society where there are expectations is a good thing. Being an adult is a good thing. Manbaby homosexuals ride the bus and the train. Public transit is for physically disabled people in wheelchairs with gubgub snail brains and noodle legs and for old sad widows whose legs can't reach the gas pedal.

          If you live in Chicago and like baseball you deserve to be shot sitting in traffic.

            We should just have higher standards for immigration (and send back 50 million that shouldn't have been let in.) Also putting thieves/violent "people" back in jail and letting drug addicts die of overdoses instead of reviving them to commit more crimes

            I have, and it is currently totally inadequate. Not a real alternative to driving until you have already driven to Chicago.
            There is no denying that the US destroyed the infrastructure that built the Midwest, and has not kept up with the rest of the world.
            Or that trying to move tens of thousands of people to the same location is simply not a good use for cars.

            > send back 50 million that shouldn't have been let in
            Now who is the one being Unamerican? The constitution guarantees political freedom, and the USA is a nation of immigrants. It does not guarantee the right to operate a motor vehicle, or require that everyone drive for everything all the time.

            I had a fridge, dishwasher, and oven delivered each seperately for free. Also, lol at paying thousands of dollars per year to save a few $40 charges. As in, you spend thousands of dollars more per year for the larger vehicle in tires and gas and maintanence, and the price of it, compared to a small car owner. Someone who just uses public transit saves probably ten thousand per year over owning a car for the big box deliveries.

      There are dozens of technologies better than the traditional automotive internal combustion piston engine.
      The problem for them has been that gasoline is so cheap thanks to subsidies none of them have been able to catch on, and the efficiency or mechanical simplicity advantages of other technology hasn't been able to overcome the industries bias towards technology that does not require new R&D investments.

      That is until the nickel manganese cobalt lithium ion battery made electric cars more viable, because electric motors are definitively better than any other solution currently available.
      The search now is for batteries that suck slightly less. The recent development of sodium ion batteries that can match NMC energy density for a small fraction of the cost, support more charge cycles, and function like a capacitor able to charge in seconds with incredible power density, could spell the doom of internal combustion.

Same goes for the war in iraq, etc. If anything our military is keeping prices higher, cause otherwise iran and Russia could be selling oil products on the global market.
