The governor of one of the Dakotas is correct. It's absurd that we built the entire infrastructure of this country to serve automobiles instead of human beings.

We love our freedumb. But in 99% of America, in order to sustain life, you need to own and maintain a car. What is that other than a "tax" you must pay to auto makers, dealerships, insurance companies and the oil industry?

The Governor also correctly point out that Americans hate the idea of walkable "15 minute cities". But their favorite vacation destinations are cruise ships, Disney World, and Vegas. All places where there is a wide variety of food and entertainment options within a 15 minute walk of where you sleep.

Reminder, this is the moment Trump found out he won in 2016.

A bunch of CIA pricks claimed they got severe head and tummy aches because Cuba developed a weapon that defies the laws of physics all so the Commies can make American spooks poop their pants. Congress unanimously voted to give them free platinum level healthcare for life.

A conservative estimate puts the number of Americans who die every year from easily treatable, non-imaginary illness at about 60,000. Or around thirty 9/11's per year.
