    Auto and oil industry meddling is exactly why American cities are wastelands of asphalt and outrageous parking

    They manipulated the government local and national many times to kill public transportation initiatives with great success and erased any chance of walkable cities and convinced all of us that this is normal

    We are nothing but a cash crop for these greedy oligarchs, time to drag them from their ivory towers

    But we won’t because you’re too busy memeing

    The narrative of cars as the embodiment and only alternative for personal freedom has been so pervasive, I just don’t think the United States will ever be free of it.

    It sucks too, because the country has great geography for railway projects.
