What a backward country.

• rayiner 3y ago
  It’s not backwards, it’s dysfunctional. I remember my dad telling stories of how in rural Bangladesh, flood control levees would fail and have to be rebuilt each year because they were shoddily made by workers who cut corners. The US is the same way. The DC Metro was built as a fully automated system in the 1970s. That has been shut down since 2009–at the expense of ride quality and frequency—because WMATA let all the associated sensor infrastructure decay.
