Pick any city in the Midwest and compare to any proportionally sized city in China. Like just about. Infrastructure is crumbling everywhere in this country while China has built more high speed rail than every other nation on the planet combined.

The priorities speak volumes.

Whenever i see some documentaries about china, japan or south korea, i'm actually blown away. They are in a big city that is recognizable, and then they sit in a train for an hour and land in a city that i haven't heard of ever, that is somehow 3x bigger. I really wanna visit some day, but maybe i'd just be overwhelmed
