Ah yes, the "free market" fallacy. Watch this: - My trucks require roads and do more damage to roads than trains do to rail tracks? No problem, roads are paid

Ah yes, the "free market" fallacy.
Watch this:
- My trucks require roads and do more damage to roads than trains do to rail tracks? No problem, roads are paid for by the taxpayer, while the rail companies have to pay to build and maintain their tracks.
- My trucks produce harmful emissions and particulates that trains don't? No problem, I don't pay for any of that.
- My trucks kill people in accidents? Again, no problem, not paying for any of that.
Yay, we've successfully optimized out any inefficiencies of trucks by externalizing literally all that's possible to externalize. Isn't the free market great?
