Y’all pretend roads outside the city and weekends don’t exist. My commute is a joy.

Most people live in a city, and are therefore subject to traffic like this.

Wrong. Individually Urban neighborhoods were about 100M. See what you have done is combined urban and suburban populations like it’s a political map. But the suburban population of the US is 175M with rural adding 46M.

So no, most of the US, does not experience this nor do they live in a city. They probably live near a city.

Suburbs are a part of a city.

Exactly, the comic is showing an urban driver’s problem. Fortunately the USA is massive and we have many more uncrowded roads across its vast and beautiful landscape that drivers can travel freely upon. Traffic jams are rare in my area, but occasionally I visit Atlanta or some similarly large city and marvel at how much it sucks to drive in their traffic.

True freedom includes having room to breathe and roam. For those who haven’t experienced it, my condolences.
