So, you know how Europe measures things by age? Well, America measures things by distance. You know that poo poo that happened with Caesar and the Belgrates? In America, that's as far away to us as New Orleans is from Chicago.

who cares? people in new orleans don't have jobs in chicago. public transit revolves around the daily commute, long distance travel only comes in once you've got a proper commute in place.

most american metros were established when car ownership was both a symbol of economic success as well as something urban planners were really into

europe, being broke as gently caress through most of the 20th century, avoided this trap

So, egg folks on until they self-mutilate in frustration of their lack of priviledge? Sounds easy.
