 In the real world the government raises taxes to fund public infrastructure. 
 Pretty genius huh? 
 Yeah yeah, do you think they'll ever catch on to funding public infrastructure by raising taxes AND printing a shit ton of money? 
 Yeah both work pretty well in my area.

 Some more pics from around my area. The trams are "public transport", a feature of civilized countries. You wouldn't understand.

 Nice nice nice. Hey, how much of that is actually taxes vs money printing BTW?
 
 You mean "in the real world government steal from people to build useless infrastructure" or "in the real world privately own corpo raises funds to fund infrastructures at their own risk" IMO
