[quote=Anonymous]Americans can't understand that they're often not #1 in doing things.  They love to try to crap on countries Iike China by pointing out things like ghost cities they heard about or some road falling apart they googled, but look at American infrastructure from lead poisoning in Flint Michigan to the collapsed bridge in Minnesota that killed 13 people after standing for less than 40 years.  Or the rail disaster in Ohio. Puhlease, Americans have zero room to criticize other countries about standards, OSHA, and quality, lol.

Go actually travel to Shenzhen and see it with your own eyes. It looks like a futuristic wonderworld that will warp your mind.  It makes NYC look like it is behind by 100 years. Try actually riding Chinese bullet trains.  They are very high quality and are now the fastest in the world.  They blow away anything the US has.

It also isn't simply because the Chinese are communist. Go travel to South Korea or Japan. They have very high quality infrastructure and can build rail.  The shinkansen has had zero deaths in over 60+ years of its entire existence and after billions of trips.  Meanwhile, how many deaths and rail accidents have occurred in the US over those same number of years.

The reason the US can't do it is because we have too many lobbyists, we are too inefficient, we are awful at planning, too much corruptin, and much of our labor is massively overpaid, and we are simply a bunch of idiots running around trying to put square pegs into around holes.  Americans are often terrible at doing things and aren often not #1.  Americans need to wrap their brains around it. I mean look how long it took the US to do the big dig around Boston. Billions in overrun costs. And once it was completed it fell apart due to shoddy American construction. [/quote]
