Our entire continent has been given almost wholey over to the automobile, and despite it being a wasteful, ultra expensive, and inefficient way of transporting people and goods, because of entrenched interests we cannot well improve on it with even interstate freight and passenger rail being opposed by oil companies and car companies and probably Road repair companies and everyone else.

A real popular government would rally the population to overcome those entrenched interests and make a viable Interstate freight and passenger rail, it will not get any easier in time and it has to be done.

It would be a proper use of borrowed money as it would pay for itself many times over and lower the cost of living and doing business and make the us more competitive.

Without needing automobiles we could have higher standards of living with vastly lower expenditures.

I'm happy to never see wherever the fuck that is.

What I learned in Texas is that almost everything is a toll road too. So you have to pay to use the roads each time.

When you look at old cars, they were simple. Small, just enough power to get around. SUVs are monstrosities that shouldn't exist.

With all those luxuries, why not just live in this thing and avoid rent?
