      Well, sure, because we’re not trying. Can you imagine what it would be like if we gave half as much of a shit about it as the interstate system? Or just full on fucking wasted half as much cash on it as we spend bailing out the airlines every other year?

        Something we spend basically no money on is worse when compared to a country that actively invests in it? What a bizarre coincidence.
