I'm tempted to say "free lobster shirt" because the reason for their probe was bullshit but my heart's not in it because if you post in QCS you should reap the whirlwind

There was no woops about it. The auto industry worked and lobbied for years to supplant them.

Much is made of this but the auto industry's involvement, while nasty, was pretty small, that woops was mostly because we are a suck rear end country. the rise of car culture was mostly brought about by a period of extreme wealth, racism/white flight, and america's cultural ideal of rugged individualism.

Even small cities had comprehensive street car networks and interurban networks that connected cities together. in 1920 you could ride interurbans from southern Maine all the way to Milwaukee just by transferring from line to line.

All gone, whoops.

My grandma would tell me the US sold the steel tracks to Japan, who melted it down for bullets to shoot at us during WW2.

Not sure how accurate that is but lol

It cracks me up when modern urbanists pretend that the US can successfully revitalize our infrastructure. The political system is moribund. We don't have another successful project in us, and it's certainly not going to be bike lanes. Maybe concentration camps, not bike lanes or light rail tho

Yeah all our utility infrastructure is garbage and our roads and bridges are a gamble as to whether they'll crumble to dust when you drive your F350 SUPER RANCH KING on em but we're gonna do $15b rail projects while we drink shitwater

I moved from a small town in the midwest growing my own chickens to living in the big city in the 80s and I had a rough time transitioning. I was especially troubled about eye contact. The basic behavior of people in the two physical environments was so different as to disorient me. People are trained or conditioned to be hostile to outsiders, minorities, women, over time.

it makes me think of this fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd: that I posted a while ago in which rule #6 and the bit at the end are about how friendly they are and most of the rest is about how unfriendly they are

Sometimes I forget that present day America is better than it was immediately after 9/11 because at least the empire is killing itself from within rather than slaughtering innocents overseas (to a lesser extent, I hope)
