    Y’all notice the lack of truly hard data

    First of all, speak English, this isn’t Bumfuckcousinfuckernowhereville.

    Secondly, oh no “hard data” on European food deserts? Because we really don’t have them like the US. Even if our cities tried planning as shit as yours, around a completely car centric culture, they really can’t because the routes and buildings that have existed for centuries just don’t allow for that. And that’s saying if we even had someone doing that. We don’t.

    Compare public transport and social security in EU vs US.

    Stark contrast.

    Compare design philosophy of cities.

    Stark contrast.

    Compare to American food regulation.

    Stark contrast.

    I know you never want to admit that the US is worse in anything, but now you’re just genuinely being ridiculous.

    In the US you sometimes literally can’t walk out of a neighbourhood, because anything surrounding it is private land and there’s no curb to walk on. So get driven over or shot by some angry land owner. And that wasn’t me making that up, word for word for Americans said in a thread not long ago.

    I can walk through any fucking field or woods I feel like, no matter who owns it.

    Oh akd also everyone’s not strapped so even if they did get mad, my chances of getting shot are way smaller.

    The US is a garbage country and the sooner you accept it the sooner we can fix it.

      All right I have to push back here, y’all is a perfectly good word. We don’t have a good second person plural in English. It serves a very good purpose.
