      We’ve got to remove private monopolies on rail lines so freight rail can be used efficiently as a major alternative to trucking.

        After being unable to convince anyone of anything that was going to happen and change even one mind, my only joy is watching them suffer the results of their shitty choices. My next high is scheduled for next year when everyone scratches their head on why the governemt needs to double the national deficit to bail out Dario and Sam.

      Fun fact: it’s definitely not going to slow. It’s about to get even worse. Unless of course the government decides to subsidize the hell out of diesel to make it cheaper.

        Ford and GM canceled their electric delivery vans though. Perfect timing!

          American car manufacturers are terrified of having to compete with Chinese EVs, so they’re not even going to make them at all.

            An outstanding long-term stragegy, but nowadays, even CEOs don’t give a damn about “long term”. They’ll take their tens of millions of $ compensation package and move on to another company, leaving the mess to the next one.

            Capitalism at its top efficiency.

            Those are diesel-electric though. Effectively a diesel locomotive on wheels.

        Has been on the road for years and they’re expanding to Europe next year… Nothing close to original promised specs, but there’s videos on YouTube just asking their drivers what they think, they mostly like them.

            I didn’t defend or promote it as a good thing, I just stated a fact. Pretending like it doesn’t exist just because you don’t like it or pedo-nazi Elmo doesn’t change the fact that it does…

      Not to worry. We can always increase the limit to 24 hours per day, and make them drag the trailers with bicycles.
