Civilized country.
In Finland, we take clean trains with WiFi all day at reasonable fee. People get mild ailments checked out at minimal cost thanks to national healthcare. There is free universal daycare from eight months. Plus compartments on trains for children to play. @ebruenig

We’re not civilized until we stop murdering babies en masse. We’re no better than barbarians until then.

Yes! The Scandinavian countries are the best all around. Not perfect but a heck of a lot closer than most of us.

I remember trains being pretty expensive there, rivaling planes in the US. They are excellent and always on time. Their bike infrastructure is amazing! They ride year round on snowpack roads near the artic circle. There's often trails on rural roads. Busses go everywhere too

Please don’t shame us by comparing us to much smaller countries. The US is too populous, to large (land mass), with too many different climates, and too diverse, to ever work that way. You’ll never get 330 million people to agree on a single system. We must decentralize!

They join NATO and trust me all that will go away. Look at Mariupol and that will be your future.

We live in a man uncivilized, unreasonable, and entirely selfish society that would rather destroy public property than use it. That’s why we can have these thing. Go check out our public trans system and tell me we could.!

And the end of the American experiment is close at hand. We either change or die. Our choice.
