Now imagine a tradesman dragging 400 lbs of tools and equipment back and forth on a train every day and on every train and bus to each job site. Then the fresh new hell of losing an additional hour every day because train run every 15 minutes from 7-10am but only on the hour before that. Now the 5am and 6am trains are jam packed SRO full of carps and welders and electricians all with their full kit. Dooming labor to a dystopian hellscape by thinking 0 steps ahead and idealistic nonsense.
