New metro stations just opened in Moscow today. What’s stopping the US from having such modern infrastructure?

  2. The automotive and oil industries, and all other industries that depend on those two.

  6. Agree, I love visiting the US… but a lot of infrastructure looks run down compared to most other developed countries.

  7. This is BS. The Russian infrastructure is terrible outside of the few major cities.

    America is leaps and bounds ahead.

  8. The infrastructure in the US after WW II was paid for by corporations and the wealthy, with the corporate tax rate in the range of 40% and those with incomes over a million paying 70%-90% income tax on every dollar earned afterward.

    Today, the US corpoate tax rate stands at 21% and the top rate for ordinary income is 37% which applies above $731,200 for married couples filing jointly.

    The highway trust is funded through a per gallon federal tax on gasoline.

  9. America is a very poor country. It can’t afford anything except war.

  11. America won’t do it unless there is some private corp to profit from it. Otherwise It’s SociLaiSm! So you get stuck with stuff like idiot Musk and his idiot single vehicle loop instead of real infrastructure.

  16. the lack of fucks to give

    this is, however, the only thing Russia does better than USA

  19. instead we’re gonna build a wall, buy greenland, invade iraq, and pay tariffs

  20. Something about this stinks of propaganda to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the *one* nice metro they have because it’s in the capital but I’d be willing to bet my liver that this is for and beyond the exception and by no means the rule.

  21. Congress run by billionaires and corporates is the reason why US is underdeveloped

  23. That’s what socialism looks like. They also have socialized healthcare and education.

  24. Refusal to pay the taxes necessary to afford them or prioritize the spending which would pay for them.
