Texas is about the size of France you daft cunts. You just can't drive there quicker because your infrastructure is so fucked ๐Ÿ˜‚

high speed train

lol, those trains are meant for cargo and military jeeps you non-American. You gotta use the highways like god intended.

I agree, our infrastructure is definitely fucked. But the US has ~10 million sq km of space to France's ~552,000 sq km.

Europe has 10 sq km. Let's not compare pommes to oranges.
