You also have a lot more people per square mile to share the cost of infrastructure. However, the big picture is far more complex than either my or your statements, and the average citizen doesn't want to put the effort into understanding it so they just look for a single data point that draws their desired conclusion.

We produce while we consume and we haven't stopped producing. 25 days is basically the margin lr runway - it doesn't mean supply runs out in 25 days. It's just that a bunch of idiots learning this small fact for the first time recently without having any understanding of the big picture and now they're freaking out over nothing.

I thought about this but regular box trucks can go through there all day long without a problem. Why majorly inconvenience them because of a handful of idiots? Instead just keep adding zeros to that fine. If it makes my taxes go down I can drive around a couple extra times a year. It's closed all winter anyhow.
