Yes. And USA says "no, we are too big for unified grid and functioning railway, and density is soooo low".

What do you mean, what is the point of your comment?

Thank you for finally replying my question. Not everyone living in amerika, and we don't know who said something about USSA being “too big”? I have no idea who said that because you are paraphrasing something from your US based bubble. Do we have US defaultism here on lemmy?

What is even USSA, I thought you mistyped USSR... There are a lot of tankies here, I thought we are debating about the Soviet Union again.

Oh and your comparison, it seems my reply was correct. The US grid is by far "bigger" than this former SU grid, but not in geometrical mean,
