Weirdly both sided comment. There's one nation acting erratically, disrespectful, and without an ounce of decorum. Then, there's a nation that, instead of cowering in fear as it used to be, responds to clown behavior with humor. Which is probably for the best.

But smallish population and a big distance between major population centers means rail is expensive. Relative to population size.
This is also true for roads. Prioritizing roads is ideologically motivated.
The entitlement of drivers is second to none.
Had corporations with their profit incentive not taken over the whole net, it could have been something akin to collective intelligence.
Yeah, that aerial image of puddles of blood at the detention facility don't look too good

Good public transit would be so frequent you wouldn't need to fit your schedule around it. I live in a place with passable public transit and I never check schedules before leaving the house. I wait 10 mins max (I'm still annoyed sometimes tho)
Thanks for your effort post.
However, disconnecting from reality is not a good strategy imo. Too many libs care more about brunch than about climate change which is partly why we're so deep in shit.
You might be right about affordability of fringe high tech products and fashion, but at least four generations before us had almost guaranteed housing. Now, buying a house is impossible and renting is expensive as fuck. My financial situation is fine (luckily) but seeing people around me struggle does not make me feel great tbh.
The advice that helped me way more than any of the calendar mottos you had to offer was 'get organized' and 'improve your behavior'. I joined a party and local mutual aid orgs, stopped eating meat, sold my car, and stopped flying. Now I'm at peace because I know, even if everything goes to shit, it's not my fault and I did everything I could. Put me mentally in a very good place.
Shit sentiment tbh. The climate crisis has never been as bad, we're also experiencing the fastest mass extinction event in history. Far right parties dismantle democracies around the world, there's nowhere to go if you wanted to flee (besides, mass surveillance, border militarization and growing xenophobia made escaping much harder than it used to be). Life has rarely been as expensive as it is currently. So no, the world has never been as on fire as it is right now.

Flying doesn't need as much infrastructure so that's definitely a factor. I couldn't find the cost per passenger kilometer to compare so I can only say that flying emits much more co2 than every other form of transportation. Since climate change is going to cost us a lot I'd say the cost of flying exceeds the costs of car resp. train infrastructure.
