Plenty of countries have amazing stuff, but when you see how the average citizens lives then you see what the countries really about. They dazzling us as tourist but don't looks past the facade

Saying that I gotta make it out there to see all the dope shyt they got :russ:
That's a half true considering there are Americans living in subpar conditions. Still, seeing high speed rail in other countries and coming back here to see Amtrak is disappointing.

It’s crazy when I first realized that America is really the ghetto. With nice places here and there. But mostly the ghetto. Come here, fight like gladiators to makes as much money for you and your fam and move on

Why do the airports into our most famous and rich city (NYC) look the way they do?

1) They are really old.
2) They still perform the function needed.
3) Renovating or replacing an airport in a major city is difficult and expensive.

You know I fukk witchu Orbital, but you’re stating the obvious AND making excuses for one of the richest municipalities in the world, to not have a decent airport. We can 100% have nice airports but no one wants to do it. It about wanting to do it, not the ability to be able to.

I’d even make the case they barely perform the function needed. Super inefficient

4) NYC is grimey as fukk when you get down to it, and I say that as a native New Yorker with love. You can say the same about the subway and bus system. It mostly works but nobody who can make a difference cares that subway stations look like post apocalyptic hellscapes.
