[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look at the Ukrainians people fighting and showing incredible grit, and then I see Americans whining about the price of gas, which is lower than it's ever been in virtually all other developed countries. Couple that with the whining about masks and a very safe vaccines, and Americans are looking very, very soft. It really is embarrassing [/quote] A lot of these countries have far more robust mass transit systems than the US and their cities were designed around mass transit. This country is much more car dependent. I’d agree with your sentiment if it didn’t primarily hurt working and middle class people who can’t afford a home 1/2 mile from a Metro, which are priced at a premium. A lot of the essential workers people appropriately laud do not have access to public transit that provides them with a reasonable commute to their job that doesn’t take 1+ hours. Spend trillions in infrastructure and build a transportation network like they have in Japan, some European countries, and China and then come back and talk about how the average American living paycheck to paycheck is soft for caring about gas prices. Until then you sound arrogant, entitled, and out of touch.[/quote] The point literally went over your head.[/quote]
