I stand corrected !

At least some Ameridans are willing to learn;
and the solutions weren't even that costly.

"Hoboken - A Model for Pedestrian Safety" [8:06 min]

Quote by EE:
"Hoboken, NJ has been in the news quite a bit for its impressive record of traffic safety. A group of road safety “nerds” from CT came down to visit to see what the hype was about, and which solutions we could take back to our own cities. It turns out that roadway safety can be very easily implementable and incredibly effective without needing to spend millions of dollars!"

#TypicalAmerican #EU #Traffic #Streets

A marvelous video comparing traffic.
The point I found revealing:

US is unwilling to learn cause it costs money {R&D]
it'll rather spend more money later.
And it's citizens are blaming taxes.

Whereas the EU is spending money to learn and investigate
to improve building new and on maintenance.
And it's citizens are [relatively] happy to pay taxes because they experience the return.
In the long run the EU way is cheaper AND better.

"The Big Ugly Truth of American VS German Streets" [25:38 min]

Quote by TA:
"A typical street in modern Japan, France, or Germany is under 20 feet wide, while many American cities require widths of between 50 and 60 feet, even on quiet residential streets. Here's why it is not only dangerous to people, but killing our environment and pocketbooks too."

It is absolutely disgusting but unsurprising. What do you expect from the country that allowed Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib? This is how, as a country, we treat people, especially the so-called "foreigners." Americans have a long proud history of this, and we shouldn't be surprised that organizations with minimal oversight and full support of the federal government actively torture and kill people. #ACAB #1312Always #AbolishICE #NoWarButClassWar #TypicalAmerican
