Because you put everything in your mouth as a baby. Some things might be an extrapolation, but most of it is memory from babyhood.

That was condescending. They likely phrased it that way because they thought the other poster didn't know. Not that they just found out. You were rude.

This has some "written in blood" vibes. We have absolutely killed people by working them too hard.

I didn't mean they didn't exist at all. I meant they aren't popular everywhere. I'm not arguing that we simply went straight from horse and buggy to every person having cars and a few places had mass transit. Mass transit was everywhere. It was an option for most people. Yes, most goods did transition to being transported by 18 wheelers. I'm not arguing we had 18 wheelers and horse drawn carriages, but that we had them along street cars and trains meant to transport goods and people. Next time I'll try to be more clear.

We had street cars. We had trains transport people. We had real mass transit. It was all killed by the auto lobbyists.

Look, I know it's idealist, but corporate profits are at an all time high. C-level execs make hundreds to thousands times what their lowest level employee does. It's disgusting. The greed and their assumption that we will just let them continually be more greedy is disgusting. Maybe they don't need all that. They can actually pay their employees better. They choose not to because we have barely any social nets in this country, what does exist can be really hard to get, and people have to eat and have a home. They prey on desperate people, hide behind the idea that minimum wage is "supposed to be for teenagers, and refuse to entertain the notion that they are the problem.
