I agree, our infrastructure is definitely fucked. But the US has ~10 million sq km of space to France's ~552,000 sq km.

Europe has 10 sq km. Let's not compare pommes to oranges.

Right, but they were the ones comparing a country to a state to begin with, so I compared a country to a country. If you want to compare continents... That's a different story.
