I hate how car centric infrastructure makes walking out of your house and into a bus really dangerous.

    Quiz: What is wrong with this picture?

    1. No sidewalks or pedestrian infrastructure
    2. That car is attempting an illegal maneuver because they think they’re so much more important than literally everyone else
    3. No public transportation forcing people to drive thus making people who should not be operating a vehicle (most people) to do so
    4. Due to being a suburb theres a severe lack of density causing less people being around and the driver to be paying less attention

    Conclusion: Fuck cars and fuck suburbs

      As a European I visited the USA a couple of times in the past. (NEVER when that traitorous malevolent megalomaniacal mango mussolini was in charge), I always noticed the sheer amount of seriously lacking drivers. Or poorly maintained cars (and roads).

      What’s up with that? How can you let such incredulously bad drivers loose on the road?

        The answer is simple, generally speaking in the US unless you live in NYC or Chicago (along with certain parts of Philadelphia or Boston) you have no other choice but to drive a car, if someone sucks at driving a car thats everyone elses problem. As for the infrastructure its because we simply cannot be bothered to maintain it because our gov would rather spend all the money bombing children and torturing civilians.

          we need to bomb children to siphon up oil to power the cars that we need because we don’t invest in infrastructure because we need to bomb childreo te siphon up oil to…

          (the root problem is an economic system that relies entirely on there being things under the dirt that mean some people are rich and other people do work so that some people are rich)
