        The US is even shit at car dependency. Iceland is just as car dependent as the US, but they still have safe pedestrian crossings, narrow lanes, 18mph speed limits in town (30kmph), smaller cars, etc.

    America only exists for capitalistic parasites to extract wealth from the working class. By 2050, everyone will recognize America as a second tier nation.
