> How many deaths are you willing to sacrifice on the altar of capitalism?

Zero. But I also don’t understand why you conflate “logistics” with capitalism.

For reference, about 50–70 pedestrians a year in Amsterdam are injured badly enough by cyclists to need ambulance or hospital treatment.

> in some European cities, there are zero pedestrian/cyclist traffic deaths yearly

What European city has zero pedestrian deaths?



Oslo each year since 2019 I think? Helsinki in some years too. Maybe others.

> Zero. But I also don’t understand why you conflate “logistics” with capitalism.

I don't conflate anything with anything. Logistics is perfectly capable to operate safely, but it is more expensive than unsafe operation, because it needs higher investment into technical equipment, more money for people that operate it and also lower speeds which means less 'effective' use of capital. Which means safety stands in the way of driving costs lower, which is a conflict with capitalism.
