The transportation departments of red states just funnel the monies to corrupt buddies and nothing gets fixed even though there is perpetual road work being (performatively) done.
There are so many dumb regulations and circumstances that functionally push people to giant vehicles.
For instance: I replaced my 2016 VW golf base model with an electric F150 this year for a multitude of reasons. I got a refund from insurance (with the same coverage). None of this makes sense except that I’m less likely to be injured by other motorists in my 3.5ton truck. I found this depressing.
And gigantic motor vehicles.
And terrible roads and/or regulations? I can’t help but notice the worst offenders are conservative areas and those usually are neglectful.

And lack of pedestrian infrastructure, and…, and… We can go on and on at how baked into the cake these deaths are in the car cult.
