Little to no environmental regs, NIMBYism, or corruption

We only got things done in the past when a Big Power From Above forced it into being so

"impractical and expensive" are invalid criticisms in the face of no other alternatives other than more cars and freeways.

The monorail at Disneyland works great and so does the one in Seattle.

Yea, monorails do work great.

They don't need to be surrounded by a vacuum tube, which is the impractical and expensive part.

Its the law that you must be given time away from your job to vote.

Laws designed to protect workers are pretty rarely enforced, or only through costly legal proceedings that most working class people can’t afford.

Labor disputes are handled through state and federal labor relations boards. You file a complaint, an investigation is started, and eventually a ruling is made. Lawyers are not a requirement but the employer will probably send one anyway.

...which are toothless, especially in Republican-controlled states.

Not in every state. https://aflcio.org/2016/11/5/know-your-rights-state-laws-emp...

And good luck proving that you were let go from your job because you went to vote.

I'm with you on this. It's possible to change the situation.
