Interesting I guess. It’s a no-brainer that this would happen when whiteness is defined by its purity. Some say the definition will be expanded like it was for Italians and Jews, but that requires racists to stop discriminating based off visual appearance so I kind of doubt it. Anyway, rip bozo lmfao

Well, this is 1978 Houston

That’s the city at its worst. It’s slightly better now. I don’t know nearly enough to accurately describe the state of automobile infrastructure in 1973. The year of peak car hell is probably different depending on the city.

Edit: I missed half the point my bad. Trains in the US were hugely in decline and Amtrak was just formed in 1971. Taking a train between those cities may have been awful indeed!

Have you ever tried to go from Boston to New York by train?

Well yes actually and it was decent. Kind of a weird move to take America’s best connected cities as an example for how bad cars have sabotaged transit when you have the entire rest of the country to make your point lol.

The rest of the article is good. The part about luxury automobiles becoming a universal commodity in advanced economies is very poignant considering I just saw a banana republican argue that communism is when everyone has a private jet. The fact that not all luxuries can be universalized really needs to be hammered into the heads of these people that fetishize growth.

Under the American Two Party regime, the state forces its netizens into an opaque “intranet” where any anti-regime sentiments are immediately purged by volunteers. 😔
