This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I do think it's funny that America has the worst traffic in the western world, yet in Europe we can get by just fine with roads built by people that even the Romans considered to be ancient.
That's because Europeans invest in all forms of transport, so you don't get people who can't fathom the concept of taking any trip from point A to B in anything other than a car.
Edit: not sure why I'm getting downvoted. I think Europe does it way better if that wasn't obvious
Would be great if Europe actually invested in all forms of transport. Where I live, the rail system is run into the ground instead of getting maintenance and expansion.
Yes, but you have a rail system.
Compared to Canada you guys have it phenomenally good.
Sorry.
It has to be said that people from one place underestimate the other...
In Europe, 100 miles is a long distance.
In America, 100 years is a long time.
I mean there has been some work done to those roads in the meantime and it’s not remarkable you chose to build them on the quickest way to go from A to B while keeping construction cost in mind…
