I secretly love the way pedestrians in New York City are the most obnoxious on the planet. I endorse jaywalking here. I see about two middle fingers from the person walking across and the car turning right everyday. An apple a day. Every other first world country\u2019s major cities are working to cut car use. London for example, they make it so difficult for cars, so many added rules and costs, and they support this with better public transportation than the great US of A. America would rather traffic jams that cause clogged arteries than spending a penny more on updated shared transportation. And Americans, we settle for the abuse, we love sitting in our cars to try to find parking for forty minutes, it\u2019s a fun family outing, let\u2019s take the car into the city, we don\u2019t wanna have to bring our shopping bags up on a packed train car. But in New York, people cross the street whenever they want, and if they have the right of way, they are taking the right of way. As soon as that light turns I\u2019m walking. If you are a driver in the city and you run the orange, I\u2019m waiting for you man! I\u2019m willing you to even touch me with your jalopy \u2018cos I\u2019ll hit you with a fucking lawsuit quicker than you can say Harvey Specter.
