People? You mentioned one person (who won a Darwin Award--hopefully he hadn't already bred).

P.S.

As for the absurd response, the assertion was

> People in the U.S. are simply constructed differently

and a handwaving reference to an intercity train system from someone who can't even be bothered to make any sort of argument does not establish the point.

Look up the brightline rail system in Florida if you want a lot more examples.
