Your missing a few stats for a valid comparison. I believe that the miles driver per vehicle and miles driven per person are much higher in the U.S. This is a bit dated but here is fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles:
Japan 2.7
France 3.5
Germany 3.5
Sweden 2.3
UK 1.8
U.S. 1.9
And to put bad driving in perspective... Mexico 17.6!!!
It varies greatly by state and locality. In most places it is unlikely you would be pulled over for less than 80 on a 70MPH highway. If you are, then there is a good chance you would just get a warning. However, there are some places where there is little tolerance or that use speeding tickets to generate revenue.
In many places, unless your doing something else unsafe you might cruise at 85 with no worries. I recently received a warning for 90MPH in a 70MPH zone and that was the first time I've been pulled over in years.
Somewhat true but your pretty much limited to small airfields. The nearest airports with normal commercial service would still require some driving and wouldn't really save you much time. Unless you have your own plane or helicopter your better off driving.
Your perception is skewed. The commute he mentions is indeed that long. It's a vast empty area and there is no option other than driving.

I was there in the early 80's. Computer security officer was one of my additional duties at that time. Tempest was a pain in the ass but it was not a secret. There were signs that had to be posted, training that everyone had to have, inspections that had to be done. Power cables had to be separated from data cables and other cables had to only cross at right angles. Lots and lots of paranoia.
I thought I'd miss my 17" too. However, I've found that setting the resolution on the 15" Retina Macbook Pro to same resolution as the old 17" looks even better than the 17 did. It's also a hell of a lot lighter. Try it...you'll like it.
That still exists and works over Thunderbolt now.
It defaults to twice the DPI but can be set to other resolutions. https://www.apple.com/macbook-...

All iMacs can act as an external display for another machine. I'm using two of them for that at the moment. A quick keyboard shortcut switches it from displaying it's own video to displaying the external video. It's called Target Display Mode if you want to google it.
It has Thunderbolt. Attach as many drives as you like.
Nothing you said explains how the Waltons having money is harmful. All you said is you don't think they deserve it.
If you voluntarily paid it then he didn't overcharge you. The price of a good or service is based on what people are willing to pay....period.
I can see you haven't been to Starbuck in MX. The cost is the same as the U.S. It's way expensive.
