But... it isn't really relevant how big the USA is. Europe is as big. I work with customers all over Europe and meet them frequently (covid times are the exception). My point is that there is a basic attitude difference in how you handle your transport in daily life. I can only assume that it is due to that many US cities were founded and expanded during the car era, and it entered the national psyche that what in Europe is considered long distance driving on a daily basis is normal. I grew up on the East coast though - our cities are planned differently and our habits are by and large more English than you might think, but not regarding this.

I am still bemused by this mindset. I drove to college in the US, 1+ hr each way every day. Never thought about it as an issue. Where I grew up, people regularly commuted to DC by train which was 2+ hrs each way. In Sweden, people ask me ALL THE TIME why I drive to work when it's only like 20min. I can bike it in that time but I hate to get to work sweaty and with bloodshot eyes from the wind. In recent years, car-shaming has been picking up (hence all the questions I get). People are really good here - if they can travel by other means than a private car, they do so. The eco- focus impresses me although I do love my own car.

Well said. Although it shocks me that there are adults who really don't get it. The lack of insight boggles me.

Seriously, it's SO bad. People applaud because Mr. Mistopheles spins around a few times. I mean COME ON a first year dance student learns controlled spins.

I think people just think they are high brow if they see Cats and the tickets sell due to that alone. I've seen it twice - once when I was 12 and once when I was 35. Sucked so so bad both times. But when I bought the tickets the most recent time I saw it I remember thinking, "it's been running forever, everyone must like it so I guess I'm the freak. I'll give it another chance." Self-fulfilling prophecy.
