Wrong. I'd be lost without my donkey. I'd have no way to get to work! I can't walk all the way there on those dirt roads without shoes!
That argument was hilarious. Right. Europe doesn't rely on trucking for anything. Looks like Wishomie has no idea what Europe is like. Maybe he should read a book.
Because our country was built around cars. Europe has spent recent decades trying to incorporate cars more and more, while the US has been trying to build up more public transit infrastructure. It takes a lot of time, though, and now the economy sucks and there's no money to spend on it. If you compare the bigger cities in the US now to 30 years ago, you'll see how greatly improved the public transit is. If you just look at Minneapolis/St. Paul... 30 years ago, they had just a few buses. Now there are something like 20-30 bus lines, a light rail for which the county is building more and more stops for, and a new commuter train line out of the cities. Hopefully once the economy is back on track, things will continue to improve in that regard.
You are right! That's exactly why I use them
