So, as everyone knows, Walt Disney loved trains. He loved them so much he built a mini ridable train in his backyard and excitedly showed it to everyone that came over to his house. He made sure that in the theme parks, especially his futuristic utopia of EPCOT, the main way of getting around had to be trains. So, with this in mind,
WHY THE FUCK DIDNT DISNEY LOBBY THE US GOVERNMENT INTO HAVING A BETTER TRAIN SYSTEM!!!!?!???!?!!! The Federal-Aid Highway Act, arguably the start of today's god awful car and highway dependency, was passed in 1956. Walt died in 1966 (lung cancer cause he smoked a ton). This man had tons of influence over the country, having a fucking tv show where he addressed the audience and encouraged everyone watching to call him "Uncle Walt". He absolutely couldve used that social influence and played up his futurist idealism on that show or any other method of addressing the public to say HEY, CARS KINDA SUCK ACTUALLY, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT DOESNT SUCK? MOTHAFUCKIN TRAINS!!!!!!!!!
Buuuuuut no, he had to be so involved with the theme parks, only really caring about creating a "futuristic society of tomorrow" when it was for his little company town idea.
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Yes, but he liked Monorails(derogatory)
