A minute ago you were saying trains only work in BIG cities that aren’t spread too far apart, but now you’re saying Australia is different because it has… smaller cities just as far apart as ours?
I don’t think you realize what sensible design could actually do, to streamline transportation in extremely smart, effecient ways. In the US we hardly ever see anything like that. We assume we’re the best and doing everything the best way it could be managed-- but the fossil fuel industry lobbied to have thousands of miles of perfectly good light rail RIPPED UP in the 60s so they could sell more gasoline to bus and car companies instead.
Someone recently announced to me that they despise me so much they’re blocking my whole instance. Okay.
But for some reason I still see their posts when people I follow boost them.

Exactly. And we can all see how badly even the infrastructure for FREIGHT trains is being neglected, what with all the derailments.
We could do so, so very much better than this if vampires weren’t sucking the lifeblood out of our infrastructure to feed their shareholders.
