Capitalism!
#anonymous#ask#politics for ts#i mean of course there's a longer answer#but that's really the main thrust of it#car manufacturers have for example repeatedly killed nationwide high-speed rail#because you guessed it#it would impact their ability to sell cars!#and when everything is privatized and for-profit#that doesn't really incentivize anyone to invest for the public good#especially when Tax Cuts For The Rich strip the public purse of needed funding#so yeah#capitalism#and the libertarian ideology of the American Free Market
