I’ve had “When Will You Die” by They Might Be Giants in regular rotation.
We’ll exhale, we’ll high-five
We will know at last how great it is to be alive
We’ll be lining up and buying tickets
And then we’ll be jumping up and down on your grave

To add to what others are saying, you should consider the framing of your question. Progress isn’t all-or-nothing. There will still be situations where a truck, van, or car is the best tool for the job, and electrifying them will take time, or require advances in technology. We would still benefit from expanding public transportation and decreasing the need to use a personal vehicle for everyday tasks.
Eventually, though, yes, it would be good to replace diesel trucks with trains where possible, and electrify the ones we can’t, when we can.


Soon after the “renaming,” I saw some comment that just said “Finally!”
Like you, I’ve never heard anyone complain about the name “Gulf of Mexico,” and I’ve heard Republicans complaining non-fucking-stop for decades, since I first began paying attention to politics as a teenager. How weak and submissive does a person have to be to take such a stupid and petty grievance, and rewrite their own mind as though they were always upset by it?
Fun and completely unsurprising fact: this is already the case with Ronald Reagan. He’s buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which charges admission.
These people never stop grifting, even in death.
