    They’re pretty much only talking about car infrastructure. Yeah, having the best infrastructure for the worst mode of transportation sure is something to be proud of.

      Even that’s pretty bad. Driving around the US in the past 5 years, roads have gotten so much worse. I use waze and its pretty invaluable because people can report potholes, because now they can go half a year without being fixed.

        Not to mention the constant construction because as soon as they’ve finished expanding a highway, it’s taken so long, the highway needs to be expanded again to keep up with all the traffic growth.

      Germany, China, and Japan all have far superior car infrastructure to the US. The only bridge onto my home island was built in the 1920s, and the state and fed have 0 plans to replace it even though a bridge 20 miles away collapsed and it was built in the 50s.
