I would find this whole thing funny but I can't.
I just finished a summer internship where I spent the summer inspecting pavement in Oklahoma for a DOT report which would tell what kind of condition the road was in. We would walk the roads, take samples, and record what problems there were and how much and of what severity. There were more roads than I care to mention where I could pick up pieces of the pavement because they were in such bad shape. There were others where I couldn't even tell what the original pavement was because of damage and patch.
How much money did they piss away on fighting for this shit? How many potholes could that have filled? How many miles of roads could have been patched or replaced? I bent one of my rims going to work one day because of bad paving. How many other people have done the same? And that bridge with half the supports exposed and non-functioning, could we have used that money to repair that?
