This is America, where infrastructure is communism. I mean if we provide good infrastructure, pretty soon we'll be sending people to gulags or something like they do in Europe and Canada.

I'm an European and it's the first time I hear about us being sent to gulags for making infrastructure that actually works.

BTW. In Poland, infrastructure was all fine until they started to privatize it. Now our trains barely work, and public transport companies like to compete with each other by showing which one sucks at doing their job more...

Unfortunately I have to agree in full. I no longer live in Poland but that was my last impression of the country.

Especially the trains went down the drain after privatization and split into multiple companies.

Ummm, I thought Europeans were supposed to be better than us poor simple Americans at dry wit and irony?

It sounds as if you might want to reinstate your previous system.

It's not always easy to pick up sarcasm in a second language.

Yup. It seems that in this case the sarcasm was too hard for me to parse :(.
