Comment on YSK that in most countries, traffic fatalities have been falling. But in the U.S., the opposite happened. Americans die in rising numbers

  Pathetic compared to 150+ mph train. You don’t even fucking realize how much of a backwards, loser country we’re in.

  I’m sure the people you risk killing find your acceptance very noble.

  I’m going to guess that those highways between metro areas, especially where speeds like that are even feasible (highest speed limit in the US is 85) are so remote and sparsely traveled that that’s not where the deaths are happening.
