"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth.
Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

Most people in the US haven't experienced GOOD public transit so they don't see the value.
Even if you do prefer cars, getting shitty drivers like me off the road makes it better for you!
This suggests that both fixed destination public transit and cars are needed for a city to function.
Of course without the public transit system, it would be so much worse.
And Tokyo has density. That's what you need. But it's less available the further from the city.

I know you want it to happen. It's never gonna happen.
In my cities, and some like NYC already has a lot of ppl of all classes that don’t bother with a car.
I think it can happen, but it will not be in the next ten years like some think
Fox exchange: "Biden provided the documents and there was nothing there." to which the panel shouted "That's the problem! There was nothing there!"
Words don't always mean the same thing to everyone.
Blame that on corporate campaign finance.

And there should be no argument that a city where 50K people live in a 10 block radius are the density that will pack public transit.
Electrifying a train line versus needing to blackmail entire countries for the minerals for the batteries.
Tesla gets a $7500 federal subsidy per car, and $4000 state subsidy. $2.8 billion a year in carbon credit. Without this Tesla will be bankrupt company.
No amount of DOGE savings from government layoffs can come close to the subsidies Elon got.
Since his objective is to destroy the Govt and by extension the US so that Putin can take Ukraine and he gets to run the US after it falls we know how that will go.
He can't run a business to save his life. He just aquires them and kills them
😕
Carl Polad, who owned the Minnesota Twins, got rich off buying the scrap metal from the rails and selling it
They believe that the subsidies that cleaner energy generation get from the Govt is a new type of expenditure, nope.
Funding lucrative businesses should be stopped, but they control Govt.

You probably live in Frogballs, Arkansas. So you never been on public transit.
Fast speed rail service across the country

Even my boyfriend who loves cars also wanted to move somewhere we could walk or bike to work
Also that is what they want us to do

We need mass transit implemented well
Europe apparently is as used to their public transit as we are to our cars because they invested in it (more or less)
That's what they need, for truth to give them a good wake up slap in the face. Maybe the price of eggs will do it, but probably not.

The cartoon should need no explanation but you were correct to provide it for those that are logic blind.
Tyranny doesn't abolish itself.
Rise up against domestic enemies, traitors, & treasonous nazis.
We're free people. We have the liberty to defend our country, Constitution, fellow Americans, & freedom itself by any means necessary.
