Nobody Asked But …
Isn’t it grand what a fine job the USDOT is doing, together with their little tag-along state DOTs? I am on the road again, exercising my freedom to move about voluntarily. And once again I wonder who will build the roads? I am not asking who will have the existing, outmoded roads underdesigned and crumbling, or who will have them in a constant situation of repair. The orange plastic barrel industry is going great guns! Driving through an urban area on a Friday afternoon is more fun than being boiled in oil. And the trucks, by the thousands — who wouldn’t want to cast one’s family’s fortunes among those behemoths? So! Who will build the roads? The military-logistics-automotive-petroleum-construction-tourism-contraband-government-industrial complex.
