So what we need is a way to move 10000 trucks worth of materials a day on a more robust path. Maybe something made of steel and the wheels can be steel too. Too bad something like that could never exist.
No, consumers have to pay for businesses so we’re “competitive”. If businesses had to pay for roads they would stop transporting goods. Instead they would start using their big brains to simply teleport goods. Without sale of fossil fuels GDP goes way down and the economy crashes. Do you want the economy to crash?

We also need to tax cars and trucks by weight and mileage. Your car tears up the road more, you pay more.

Specifically, tax them by
(weight/axle)^4 * speed^2. You’ll notice that a 2ton car costs 16x as much as a 1ton car.Yeah while we’re dreaming can we both have ponies
