Seriously embarrassing

Almost every day there are “delays” and “train traffic” and “signal malfunctions”

Trains run on time every day w few exceptions in every other country I’ve been to

I was discussing this with someone IRL and he actually tried to spin it that the US was superior because it had "better things to do" than maintain the infrastructure. Was pretty bewildering. Moral of the story, never do anything or talk to anyone IRL.

Any discussion of public policy in America has this fascinating rhetorical tactic in which the idea of "we can't afford it" is conflated with "we don't want to pay for it".

Yes, I agree. Those who wish to ride trains always claim they can't afford the full cost of ridership, when they really just want subsidized transportation.

This is true and it pisses me off that it's mostly because we built them first. Also, we're addicted to cars.

wait til we start to get rebranded names - like the Google Golden Gate Bridge, or the Apple Tunnel. Same way they paid for stadium names. dont worry though, the infrastructure will still be shit, it will just have a trendy name hehe.
