    The DFW metroplex is running into the same thing. Even stupider is that the suburbs are voting to leave DART (the bus and metro system) because it “doesn’t benefit them enough”. The way that the middle class will cut off their nose to spite their face is absolutely amazing at times.

        You missunderstand that. Mass transit has to finance itself, so it is basically capitalism. Cars on the other hand get a lot of support from the government, so it is much more like socialism.

            Most importantly you miss-understand what Capitalism is, it is always been about moving money up, not making something that is able to financing itself. Only FDR became USA President did at least taxes reach 90%, loopholes did not help though, of businesses/Super Rich Economic Class/Owners & that built a Caucasian Middle Class, living their best lives, a lot better than 70s-until now.
            Where Socialism is about moving money down, & under non-Capitalist dominate country, through taxes & out to the rest of the people, in a country.
            Also important to know COOP is money moving out to all in the organization & under non-Capitalist dominate country, through all their taxes & out to the rest of the people, in a country. So yes, it does COOP businesses finance themselves.

    I really enjoyed that they’re criticizing Los Angeles’ freeways with a picture of a San Diego freeway.
