Look, I just think we need to stop coddling those hedonistic roundabout hogs who get into the inner lane and circle for hours, wasting valuable capacity.

If the consumer can't use the product, it's a bad product. I've had teachers who knew their subject, but couldn't convey the knowledge; they were bad teachers. If people can't handle roundabouts, it's the traffic department's fault.
It's a chicken and egg problem. Roundabouts are well-liked by those used to them, and despised by those who aren't. A product isn't bad because it's an acquired taste, and there's no solution that doesn't involve trying it until you get it.
"despised by those who aren't" is kinda really fucking funny to me because i cannot think of any country but the USA where roundabouts aren't bog standard and being angry at one is like being angry at a T-intersection
They're everywhere here in Massachusetts, but I don't think I've ever seen one outside of New England
