We USians are so hooked on, and controlled by, car infrastructure that we’ll come up with any lame ass excuse to undermine public transit. “Busses (or trains or any other form of public transit) aren’t perfect because of X, so we should just keep destroying our health, our communities and our planet”

My therapist thought my significant other was a socio path, and I was like “you took everything I was saying at face value?” Part of being a good listener is letting someone rant without necessarily believing everything they say as rock solid gospel.
