you do realize that literally everything you have came on a truck, and increasing the cost of truck transportation increases the cost of those things.

So impose rules on trucks, and it increases the price of the things they deliver, like bikes, and thus means fewer bikes.

net, net, it’s not so simple, everything has costs and benefits. The trade offs are why economics is called the dismal science

Easy to say we should mandate this or that, but when you weigh all the costs and benefits, it becomes way more complicated
