If americans come to germany and act like german public Transport is the best, how frickin bad is american public Transport?

The infrastructure is set up for cars, and then everyone has to drive their own car because we can't share a space respectfully. The only time I'd consider riding the bus is if I didn't have a car and if I had to for work. In the states the view towards public transportation is that if you depend on it you're not doing too well, which is sad. I commute 70 miles 1 way to work and would love to have a bullet train or something as an option. But as it is now, no, it's not even an option. I had a previous coworker that took 2 buses to work every day, and he was always telling me about the "interesting" people he'd run into on the bus, like a guy with a puppet at 7:00 in the morning, or the drivers that didn't know the schedule so they couldn't tell him when another bus would be coming. No thanks.

What was the Nazi Germany equivalent to "Ted Lasso"?

I believe to truly get an idea for it you need to imagine what life was like inside Nazi Germany. Media was heavily controlled and propaganda had its own department so indulging in things unrelated could be difficult depending on the source. I'd recently read some reddit threads on it so I'll site one as an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistory/comments/1idpun4/what_was_life_like_for_citizens_under_nazi/

All bodies should be automatically given to science and organ donation upon death.

Probably an unpopular reply, but I already have enough fear of organ harvesting. I don't need the government to one day decide that there are too many people on waiting lists so they're just gonna pull feeding tubes or some other drastic dystopian level shit they're probably really thinking about. Maybe kill off a few minorities or poor people or the handicapped while we're already ignoring body autonomy and basic human rights?

What would happen to the US if it denaturalised and deported all non-whites?

Remember that at one point Italians and Irish weren't considered white either. Trump always acts like he wants to take the US back to a certain period of time, but that's only loosely based off however he's feeling right now. At any point he'd be liable to say that certain white people aren't white and just get rid of them, but honestly, he's already talking about getting rid of Rosie O'Donnell who already left just because she talks bad about him. No other reasons listed, and she's white, so who knows 🤷
