This is a perfect analogy for US politics. It's gaudy, it doesn't work, it's dangerous, under regulated, only the rich can afford it, and it's taking priority over the clearly better option (trains/socialism)

Pro tip: US can just pile up all its garbage in one place and it will eventually form an ominous black sphere with no additional cost

The Black population of Los Angeles, California erupted in fury in six days of unrest today in August 1965, known as the Watts Riots. The unrest occurred during the tense period of the Civil Rights movement where the racist Jim Crow laws of the southern US states were being challenged by activists. However, in Los Angeles the context was slightly different and the causes of the unrest were more long-term.
During the Second Great Migration in the 1940s, the Black population of Los Angeles increased due to defense industry recruitment efforts. As a result, the Black population increased from 63,700 in 1940 to 350,000 in 1965.
However, the white bourgeoisie did not welcome the Black migration. Many covenants prevented minorities, including Black people, from owning property in certain areas of the city. At the same time, the Los Angeles Police Department was gaining a reputation for racist violence. It was these events that created a pressure cooker that exploded in August 1965.
