    Every time I visit the US, I travel by train and bus and bicycle and walking.

    This is misinformation.

      This is the same kind of “I KNOW BETTER!” fuckery Europeans call American tourists out on.

      Remember that the United States is larger than the entierity of Europe if you don’t count Russia, and comperable if you do.

      YMMV, and I’d wager most visitors are in ideal locations more often than not, so you see the best we have to offer… Unless it’s Florida, of course.

      I also spend $100 a month for internet that often caps at 100k, that’s the speed of a dial-up shotgun modem from the 90s, tell me how your gigabit fiber in your hotel is cheaper and faster because the city you are in must reflect the conditions of the entire nation.
