This is also the reason they give for why we can't have Healthcare. It's funny because capitalists understand that looking stupid and weak is still superior to admitting what capitalism is preventing us from achieving.
Especially when we used to have one in this country but we tore up all the rails in the name of the auto and air industries. Something we could do in 1869 just can't be done anymore apparently
The annoying thing is that we had one before WW2. Then we dismantled it because you can't have personal freedom of movement or some stupid shit. And the airline & car companies lobbied hard to kill Amtrak
And the implicit reason is “the Afrikaner racist said no because then no one would have to buy teslas to feel environmentally conscious” and that’s also funny.
"We're the best country ever, we walked on the moon, we invented nuclear bombs and the internet, we fucking rule. America, fuck yeah. Oh...high speed rail? lol no, we can't figure that one out, sozz. Buy a pickup."
