      We’re already convinced that trains were better, but thanks for yet another pro-train argument

        I don’t know about Amazon. On the one hand they are continuing the American tradition of destroying small businesses. On the other hand I have a lot more stuff than previous generations.

      Hate to break it to you, but trains are in fact amazing for intercity freight. They’re not for the last mile, of course, but trucking or airlifting your Amazon shit into your city is plain dumb.

      they delivered Amazon shit to your door in the same way somebody in a vehicle did (the last mile )

      neither of them did the whole process

      did you think you were making a good point?
