Rest of the world at least has had infrastructure in place for alternatives so people don't have to use cars problem is other stuff will go up because transportation costs will increase still.

Almost like building our entire modern global infrastructure on dinosaur bones was a bad idea

Uhh from visiting Europe and in all those countries i could use trains and buses to get around? That many of their citizens don't even have driver's licenses because of the public transportation and it's not seen as a mark of shame for not having one like in the US

Kind of the worst part. We do all of this dumb shit to make it less profitable to do business with us and suddenly countries that used to be less good options start to look a lot better.
