      I could start a media empire whose sole premise is mythbusting American notions about how much better life in Europe is. There's a self-loathing strain among American liberals that expresses itself (among other ways) by going on and on about some travel experience they had there.

      Usually the observation is flat out wrong or only partial in nature, not understanding the historical development that drove the differing approaches, or not seeing the hidden tradeoffs to the European way of doing things.

      First off, the trains. By God, the fucking trains and how every American waxes rhapsodic about them after riding them once. Here's some news for you: the US has the best rail system in the world...for freight. Which is what trains should be moving.https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2014/03/27/the-most-efficient-mode-of-transportation-in-america-isnt-a-prius-its-a-train/#c56c66516f83 …

      The US moves way more freight (and at lower cost) than Europe does. Humans aren't cost-efficient to move around in trains, which is why European governments have to massively subsidize the industry (it would never be afloat otherwise). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_subsidies …

      Distances in the US (LA is as far from NYC as Madrid is from Warsaw) make trail travel completely impractical. The only place where it could maybe work is...surprise, surprise....where it exists: on the Eastern Seaboard (the US's one high-speed train runs from DC to Boston).

      The distance argument? Good lord...here's a hint bro: few Americans travel from NYC to LA period, regardless of mode. Size of the country has little bearing on how useful trains are--consider that Russia and Australia have better rail systems than we do https://twitter.com/antoniogm/status/1037735868214075392 …
