      this shit is unsustainable, and if we want a future, we cannot wait for it to die on its own.

      which it eventually will, because that’s what “unsustainable” means, but holy shit. the amount of resources and ecological damage that goes into maintaining it, the amount of LABOR than goes into maintaining it, fuck.

      Horses would be worse tho and in about a hundred years we’ve never come up with anything better for moving freight than trucks.
      Trains would be great but aren’t practical for around town
