I don't want to outlaw gasoline cars. Actually that isn't true, I do want to outlaw gasoline cars but I don't think that it would be fair. Taxes on the other hand, I am all in favor of. Just like cigarettes, tax, gasoline, cars proportionally. To studies on the toll on the environment and society gasoline cars cost versus EVs, and tax them accordingly.

And man I could not be stronger on the side of trains. I travel a lot, and when I came back to the states for a visit I couldn't the possity of the u.s mass transportation infrastructure.

I really think it's holding the US back just an opportunity costs of students not going to school or they want to or moving to a city that welcomes them, they have to struggle against a crappy situation just because they can't afford the ticket to leave.

Even in China, if you work 100 mi away from where you live, which is very common there, that's a 30 minute commute to work. No traffic jams or popped tires or any of that crap.

I mean sometimes trains in China crash into subway walls and a bunch of people drown because the subway's underwater(https://www.sixthtone.com/news/1008196) But we can use Austria as an example instead. I know people in austria who commute to different countries for work everyday on trains.

Mass transportation for the win.
