What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history

No, soul crushing jobs have a predictable amount of people in a larger distributed area so the infrastructure is planned and built for that many people to be there. It’s mass gatherings in a centralized place (like a protest) that are underserved by our infrastructure design. This is of course intentional by the powers that be.

as if everyone in the USA, or their neighbours, or some friends would not have a car already PRECISELY because your public transportation infrastructure is horrendous

Next excuse up: "I didn't have protest-appropriate clothes to wear"
