I think one of my tires popped and wheels cracked just looking at that.

People here complain about Atlanta’s roads, and while I agree that 285, as an interstate, should have about 10,000,000 fewer potholes, I always tell them to go to Michigan and then tell me who has bad roads.

That’s less a pothole and more of an ovenhole.

The best is when you inevitably have to hit one, but you have to choose which one to hit.

Just back from a week in Japan. The roads, bridges, tunnels are so well maintained. The subway is spotless. The bullet train (Shinkansen) goes 185mph and is considered late if it’s more than 6 seconds behind schedule.

Why can’t we have nice things?

South Carolina, where currently the govt is trying to figure out what the fuck to do with the roads. Some of our “maintained” roads are dirt with exposed bed rock, that I can barely get up in 2WD. There are actually sections seperated on I20 West in Lexington. There is a bridge that is literally made of patches.

I always feel bad when I drive over a fresh patch-job and hear it scatter underneath. Especially when the patch crew is just a hundred feet or so ahead. They must really feel like they’re wasting their time...

Come to New Orleans, our roads are terrible too. Seriously, it’s impossible to own a nice car down here without it getting destroyed by these streets. Example of a normal street here:

Come to Texas:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

We have speed limits worth driving at with roads fine enough to accommodate those speeds.

And on top of that, it’s springtime right now. Everyone in Texas knows what happens along the highways in the spring:

Oh boy here we go. I’m not saying they are slaves over there. In a video about them replacing a piece of track in 24 hours I remember people asking why can’t the MTA do that. And a person who lived in Japan explained how the employers treat the employees of the mass transit system very badly.

Because Detroit obviously got the way it is through Republican leadership.

I’m not saying the GOP isn’t awful, but just as much of the onus lies with Democrats as with Republicans. The whole system is corrupt, not just one party.

Mom’s on LI, dad’s in Westchester and works construction sites in the boroughs and CT. My dad used to whine about their roads until he came to visit us here, lol.

The ‘both sides’ argument doesn’t really fly - you didn’t see Code Pink showing up to Bush rallies with automatic weapons. Obama, Clinton, Sanders - they don’t make up shit wholesale and then double down (see the Full Fiorina). And the lies - WMD, death panels, trickle down, Bush tacking left after the 2004 election, and on and on.

But I’ll post another car from Tokyo in a few ... back to basics!

Flint’s water is now leaded and people have literally died and kids are suffering from lifelong effects of poisoning under Snyder’s emergency mismanagement, so maybe let’s not beat that drum.
