91. Japan and Europe are considerably different than the US
But, I think you know that.
However, there is also this to consider:

Also, there is considerably more concern for others in those countries than now exists in the US.

Here's two things to think about....

What about women who clean houses for a living? They must get to a different house every 2, 3 or 4 hours, and what time they lose waiting for a bus means they don't get paid. They could conceivably lose a job every day because of the time factor. What about them? Tough?

What about people who live in their cars? I suppose they can live in a bus? Or a subway?

What I'm getting at is that I'm *very* perturbed that muddleclass people seem to only be able to think either about their own situation, or about the "common" situations. That, usually, leaves out people of less means, and very poor people.
