Even getting workers to the factory is a concerted effort of trains and public transport, Americans would quickly clog the highways with millions of single occupant large vehicles without first investing in more efficient ways to move people

Scenario: someone builds a factory complex employing thousands of workers. Government builds and improves infrastructure and roads leading to and from that factory to get the workers in and out, as well as getting raw materials in and finished goods out. Someone properly points to the roads and says "you didn't build that", pundits freak out.
