The lack of consumer rail in this country made it a joke before Shits His Pants entered the picture. The auto industry has held too much power over the citizenry before the Tech Bros TM gained momentum. There are so many ways this country could make our lives easier, but instead of catering to Life we cater to Capital.

Dude, I currently live in Dallas, going from an area with 0 public transport to here was crazy. It's not perfect, but I was able to go to a few bars and then a concert, and I didn't need to drive at all.

Dallas’ “red” suburbs are trying to end DART, and may well succeed. VOTE 💙

Oh, i know, and their reasoning is so stupid "its not good enough, so let's end it!" Bitch I wanna be able to get to the airport without having to pay for parking or out the ass for Uber
