Great idea. Now we need to address the politics of who is paying for the new infrastructure, who will be collecting taxes on it across multiple boundaries (each with their own interests), and how to time share the tracks with others. Then we need to update regulations to help mitigate disaster scenarios in cases where hazardous materials are transported and compromised.

I am not dunking on the use of trains, that should absolutely be done. It’s just not as straight forward to implement when businesses think “this is already here (freeway), and it’s cheaper and easier.”

That last one reads like C’thulhufactor.

I get what you mean, but what are millions of people going to do for work instead?

This is like the third or fourth article I have read about some company leaving AWS and saving what seems like a ton of money. The thing they have in common is that they don’t talk about security and other more mundane things such as infrastructure maintenance, which is one of many things you pay AWS to not worry about.
