I mean it's not really that it's a shit country designed only for cars. It's also a rather huge country that you can travel quite a ways to get to whatever you're needing to do.
Other huge countries have trains for this.
I mean we have trains also but just like those countries also have cars and infrastructure we also have cars and infrastructure. The amount of time it takes for a train to go from point a to point b is quite often much longer than what it takes for a car to get to point a to point b. They're oftentimes where I work 3 to 400 mi away in a single day I can literally get up in the morning drive out there do a job complete it and drive back and be back at my house by that evening. There is no way on a train I could get up make it out there with all of my tools completed job and make it back to my house at any time in a single day.
No, we really don't. We used to, and then automotive companies bought our country, killed all the passenger trains, and redesigned every city to require cars.
Yes, the idea that America has trains I think really betrays that this user doesn't really know any other type of infrastructure than broken car-centric bullshit. Not blaming them, that's just what you get in America.
Not actually correct with high speed rail. Also, you're talking about a work vehicle which is obviously a different category from a commuter vehicle and not at all the subject of this post.
The USSR covered 11 time zones, and at a less severe latitude the sun would not have set on its continental mass. It was and ts successor is more rural than the united States. For all the many many many many problems it had, this was not one of them.
This is a problem, like school shootings, that Americans choose to have. Presumably because Americans are orcs.
You are wrong, everything you believe is propaganda lies, and you are hostile to even the idea of understanding the real world because you value your delusions more highly. Stop spreading lies.
