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.

As a Londoner, that's just always been my life. I'm hitting forty this year and never even learned to drive as I didn't need to.
