It’s a state-level NIMBY and red tape problem. Ezra Klein, Matty Iglesias and Noah Smith all write about this. Requires political will and use of eminent domain. Eisenhower built the highway system—while fighting Korean War. Authoritarianism is a useful form of government if you want to build train tracks and not have local input.

OK, 1956. So not Korea technically. Just general Cold War military industrial complex. spending https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System

Can you block channels? I’m sick of seeing warped political guff on my timeline (this isn’t aimed at you).
