This is because Americans are garbage people
Wowowow
New York City already decided it is ok for let people get murdered in plain daylight for no reason, there is an immense, mountain moving amount of wealth in NYC and yet there is destitute homeless everywhere on the streets struggling to survive.
The fact that wealthy people who live in NYC aren't ashamed that they live in one of the most powerful cities on earth and yet it still fails to take care of its poorest citizens in an even remotely humane way tells you everything you need to know about who has control of NYC.
This is just an another expression of it.

This guy is smug as fuck... is he really equating heavy traffic in NYC to all of America?
There are many things to criticize the US for, but this guy is just an asshole. There is literally nowhere for those drivers to move aside to.
Yes there is: lots of gaps and the sidewalk is also available. The outer vehicles can move to the sidewalk and make way for the inner vehicles. There was plenty of space to shuffle vehicles around. Plenty!
You think there is no traffic congestions on German streets?
Besides, in Germany we form a gap in advance before we even hear an ambulance. An ambulacen can usually rush through a traffic jam at speeds of like 50kmh or more.
It's beyond me why this isn't a thing everywhere.
Of course the ambulance have a reinforced bumper. I think the cars would move out of the way if it means that your gets damaged of you don't
Park near a fire hydrant or pass a stopped school bus and everybody freaks out, but this is just fine somehow
