To this day, the boomers in my life tell me that “freight trains in the US are the envy of the world.” Ok, great, but it would be nice if it was usable in daily life

I think that’s exactly what that person is saying though. There is plenty of opportunity for good public infrastructure, but bad policy and auto lobbies have prevented them from happening. A good example is how most neighborhoods are not allowed to be located with businesses/shops/restaurants, and vice versa. This simple change would make so much more of the country more walkable

The point isn’t that it’s making fun of people for being poor, it’s making fun of the poor voting against their own interests and then insulting others along the way for some reason

I don’t think I was involved in any bickering. I meant to clarify my thoughts from earlier.

In the image itself, it directly calls it a “profit motive,” not just a general motive. I figured you may have missed that by mistake, wasn’t trying to be rude.

Then the rest the of the post implies that these other people are able to do stuff without a profit motive, though yes it doesn’t state they have other motives i suppose? But i think that’s the point

I do believe this was the message that was intended to be conveyed by the post itself

None of the names are legible and the front two are both showing a one star general ranking.

I… Have some really unfortunate news for you
