I find it utterly amazing that a country like the USA does not have nationwide high-speed rail and mass transit in every major city (that works for everyone).

Comparing with Asia (Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia) and certain EU countries (Vienna, Netherlands, etc.), it just shocks me how much people need a car for everything. Even a visitor needs to rent a car to properly go about their business.

When the greed of the powerful rules everything, progress has to take a back seat.
