Congestion makes driving not fun. If you want to have fun, take a car to a track, that's not what the public roads are for.

I think what they meant was that the roads are designed for everyone to get where they're going as safely as possible. They're not for "having fun", which usually translates into some selfish kid who watched too many F&F movies thinking their endorphin rush is more important than everyone else on the road.

You absolutely do not get to decide what public roads are for. You're also in a thread where it explicitly states LESS people are driving, so LESS congestion. And during the pandemic there was almost NO congestion in many areas. I have no idea what you're talking about. The whole US vs a handful of beltways.
