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.
okay.
so um.... I feel like if a car without 4wd can get there, a train can get there, with the same or less amount of effort+maintenance+ecological-fallout.
