Trucks and other killers

So you think the cost of the shit you buy in this city would go up if trucks had to unload at depots at the city’s borders and use much smaller vehicles to deliver goods to stores? Well here’s part of your discount, jerk: 36% of bicycle and  12.3% of pedestrian fatalities in NYC are thanks to trucks. Trucks are only 3.6% of city traffic. If trucks were an ethnicity, Corona guidos would be calling for concentration camps. Instead, we’re getting a lame sort of stop-and-frisk for these juggernauts of death: side guards, and only for city trucks. I mean, good. But also, seriously ban all these fucking trucks. Nothing bigger than those small delivery vans in this city.
