You do realize the US doesn't have the public transport of massive cities in western Europe right?
Maybe think a bit and you'll realize that Americans have to drive more to get places.
Regardless, the crashes have nothing to do specifically with the way America has implemented anything.
"but that that public education had failed to prepare this person and apparently a whole community for higher education"
The comment was specifically about how the US has done it badly. Not everyone needs to be prepared for higher education. Countries like Germany that have "free" higher ed decide that certain kids will go intro trades early on. Are you going to flag Germany as not preparing a whole demographic of kids for "higher ed" ?
