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

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.
