The market is rigged by an industry(ies) (auto, oil) to develop society in its favor. Without a major 'refactor', the US doesn't have a chance at efficient urban design that would support individual use transport.

It is rigged because people want high speed climate controlled transportation. Prior to oil and autos, there were enclosed carriages pulled by horses.
The market was rigged by oil and auto before cars were climate controlled.
There are antique cast iron boxes that were filled with hot charcoal to keep carriages warm.
