Shared on Facebook with the caption “Doing absolutely no favours to their international reputation, Americans have swarmed social media posts of Taylor Swift’s Melbourne concerts confused by a very obvious detail. Can you spot it?”

It’s an article from the Murdoch right-wing paper “The Australian”, so I won’t link the original source.

Aerial photo of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, surrounded to its North and East by tree-filled parks, to the West by a warm-up pitch, and to the South by a train line with two pedestrian overpasses over it. Underneath this photo is the article title “The MCG show detail that has American Swifties baffled” and byline “by Sam McPhee”.

    Yeah sure, it’s nice, but not every country can afford a mass ride-in-a-kangaroo-pouch transit system.

      The US absolutely can afford it, reduce military spending by 10% That is about 80 billion usd, with 80 billion usd they sure as hell can afford to build some public transport

        Sorry but you have clearly never imported and raised giant kangaroos for mass transit. $80 billion is nothing to them. Nothing.

        The cost of cars is something like 4.8 trillion annually in the us. Could build everyone transit in a decade if anyone cared.
