        The US is even shit at car dependency. Iceland is just as car dependent as the US, but they still have safe pedestrian crossings, narrow lanes, 18mph speed limits in town (30kmph), smaller cars, etc.

    America only exists for capitalistic parasites to extract wealth from the working class. By 2050, everyone will recognize America as a second tier nation.

    This is what happens when you declare the end of history and yourself the best in the world. You don’t bother to do anything because nothing matters.

    God we suck. Missing tf out, I was surprised London was still building, and even Rome still found money for some. Though the low amount India has is shocking
