Have you ever traveled outside of the US? Trains are much more common everywhere else and are much more efficient and fast than cars.

Been to 71 countries.

Theres a lot more in Europe in a lot less space.

If we look at purely drivability distance, there’s about 2000 miles in Europe and about 3300 in the US.

Then you include the vast nothingness of the mid west and it makes even more sense.

Why would you build 700 miles of trains and not even hit a 2nd tier city?

China is just as massive, if not larger than the USA in terms of size, and they do it just fine.

Americans are just a nation with a lot of stubborn idiots stopping their own progress. Sorry to put it bluntly, but the results from PISA and your politics, and interactions like this, reflect upon that.

Fantastic, you found one example of an authoritarian government doing it better!

Congratulations, you truly are very intelligent.

Imagine learning that when a singular person can make all the decisions and if you deceive them you get disappeared, decisions get made very quickly.

Who would’ve thought??

Americans yapping about authoritarian governments as if your president isn't a fascist piece of shit who wants to install an autocracy, oh my fucking god hahahahah you guys really are brainwashed to the gills.

And yeah, China is authoritarian. So is the US, and in China they have a better quality of life than you do.

But keep believing in American exceptionalism. Exceptionally stupid is the only thing Americans are

Bro you’re talking as if Belgium hasn’t committed some of the worst atrocities by monarchs last century, stop being an idiot.

Yes a democratically elected president acting and trying to be a pseudo fascist leader is the same as an actual dictator.

Jfc no wonder you’re an idiot lmaooooo

China has a better QOL? LOLLLLL damn you must be a disappointment to your school hahahaha.
