Looks like Houston roads

Here how this works:
Government well connected contractor win bid for doing work for $100M. Then he is selling this job to subcontractor for $50M. Then this is selling job to his subcontractors for $25M. The last one has to use low quality materials and cheap labor to make some money on project.

Really, this looks like 3rd world country model.

When the PTB really want to limit and control private at will transport, why would we expect any different? This just falls right in line.

I don't want to dox myself too much. It's the refining process. Oils used in asphalt of 30-40 years ago was much different than what we have today. To keep it simple I'll make the math easier. In the 1970's you could refine oil to fuel at a 90% rate. The remaining 10% would be used for things like asphalt. Fast forward to the last decade and there's only 1% left for asphalt and it's the shit oil in the refining process.

Basically you're driving on roads that are 90% less quality from what most users here likely grew up on. Freeze thaw matters, but we just have shittier asphalt from the word go now. It's not necessarily politics or construction practices. It's a quality issue because selling and refining oil for other products like fuels mainly is more profitable than using it for asphalt.

Another way to think of it is squeezing a wet rag to get the water out of it. 98 People got to squeeze the rag to get some water and what you drive on is the 2% left. Used to be 10%. Makes a huuuuuuggggge difference.

I don’t know how much longer my poor car can stay in one piece

I might have to just accept that our roads will forever be shit and start driving a Jeep with 35inch diameter tires and stop giving a shit

Civil Engineer?

My sister is one in New Hampshire. I'm an EE, and I didn't magically absorb my sister's knowledge, but I can tell you, the roads in NH are built specifically to last. It's built for infrastructure. I love that state for their roads, and I'm certain my sister does as well.

They are seriously built to last and to be functional. There are passing lanes, roundabouts, and the roads are NOT designed to be replaced 5-10 years later. They're well built, and designed to last for a long long time so I don't think it's just a function of what is available for asphalt. In NY, roads are purposely designed to be replaced 5-10 years later, to make certain that people will be employed. In NH, a road needs to be built, they hire the dregs of society to build it (no offense, but it's not skilled labor if you have a competent foreman), and they build a road, and then when they are done, the drifters move on to another job. Some of these "drifters" are high school graduates, people that just left the military, university students working in the summer - they aren't bad people, but they are doing this as a summer job basically. It's not a permanent job for them, and NONE of them expect to be "moving up" doing it, it's just hard work and money.

There's a reason NH has the Liberty Project located there. Having an economic system that is designed not to provide employment, but to provide wealth in terms of assets and infrastructure, is a good idea. They don't have ambitious crazy projects, they have projects designed to improve the state, at a low cost, to accommodate the population, and they do NOT want input from "East Coast Liberals", although they will take their money.

@Patrick
You may have a stealth advertiser here.

Bot?

@Patrick

Another stealth ad

Nobody knows what you’re posting about.
Now you’re fantasizing about white people in America genociding the relatively few Sikhs we have?
C’mon man. Most Americans have no idea what a Sikh even is, or how you’re different from other Indians. The turban makes the less educated think you might be a Muslim, but the media hasn’t been hating on Muslims for over a decade and most of that sentiment has passed.

If you want my advice, try getting to know people outside your community. Nobody wants their friends to get hurt. So try being someone’s friend.

@Shaman, if you want to respond spend couple of seconds to see what he is saying. Then you will understand how deranged he is. The news he shared is nothing to do with "whites". And he wants to drag west to defend his imaginative "sikh" rights.

There is a fugitive that khalisthanis dropped in to India. Now the Indian state is trying to arrest him. But you need to be more concerned about what these khalisthanis can do in west.

@FarmersWon did you hear about "pols agayi pols agayi"

FarmersWon says

Hindoo is genocide religion and this indc filth is Hindoo

What are you?

“That’s not what I mean. I just said Whites can genocide Hindoo Nazis using police as they deserve it and full support from Sikhs.”

Uh Yah that’s not happening, like ever. White people are not your genocide factory, and have no greater propensity for such things than other races. Or have we forgotten Kmer Rouge, Great Leap Forward, Idi Amin’s little reign of terror, or the ethnic genocide in Rwanda?

Genocides are bad, ummkay? The sheer existence of them should offend and appall you, if you want to live in a civilized world. Because even if it’s your enemies getting the pogrom this time, next time it could be you.
So no genocides, period.

70% (Pew) of Indian origin American Hindus support the Nazi inspired Hindutva movement in 🇮🇳

Non-Hindus, political opponents of the govt, independent journalists & non-profits are threatened & physically attacked by the govt & their supporters at will.

What's your position ?

You keep saying it's your right to carry weapons and threaten others. But the Hindutwatchin idit keep sharing videos of hindus distributing trishul to defend themselves against the muslim bastrds attacks and you have a problem.

Sorry patnet sometimes I can't take disinformation from this guy and have to respond.

Notice now mainstream media like CNN is not reporting about the identity of the shooter

Look at this liberal and Woke plant trying to distract from the mental illness of the transgender female shooter

Who said anything about Religious Sikhs. We are discussing Khalisthani. Unless you equate Khalisthani's to religious Sikhs.

I looked this up as well, I didn't see anybody calling the killer a Sikh.

Honestly, FarmersWon drives me crazy at times, annoys the shit out of me at times, but, I think he's just made an error here. I don't think anybody said this was a Sikh. For all I know, the crazy killer was a Muslim. Imagine killing somebody over an argument? The killer was insane.

If the "news" story is accurate, CLEARLY the killer is insane - however, I think he should go to prison for life, at minimum, regardless.

What’s the proof?
Even if he was you can’t blame whole Sikh community asking for sovereign country.

By the way what kind of smoking person asking for Khalistan?
If Khalistan ever come to existence, First thing they will ban smoking.

You know when they made Pakistan they said alcohol will be banned as it is against Islam. Now you can check how much alcohol is consumed by pakistanis.

You know, I'm about done with the "cowfucker" shit @FarmersWon

If you have a very specific complaint, fine, but if you simply hate Hindus, that's not fine.

I find his comments extremely useful. He gives me excellent one-liners to use with telemarketers.

A treasure.

My problem with Hindooo idiots is that they blame whole Sikh community for any chance they get.

Dude, you're blaming it on "Hindooo"s just because he's Indian and your history:

OK - what is wrong with allowing bigots to be around? If the Aztecs were still around, I bet you'd be a bigot against them, what with your so-called "moral aversion" to human sacrifice, you know "murder", and all... I don't run this board, but I'm a dick, and I think anybody should be able to speak, if only to show that they are wrong and to show other people what is out there.

I do believe that in a free market of ideas, the best ideas win. I believe that in the marketplace as well, I just don't believe we have a free market.

FarmersWon says

People in south India are educated anyway, They are becoming Christians due to Hindooo filthiness so they don’t count.

Well I'll say this about Southern Indians - they make very good food. Northern Indian is much easier to cook though.

Still Sri Lankan is the best.

FarmersWon says

Hindoo monkey God Hanuman commited genocide on Sri Lankans.

Do you believe Hanuman existed? Do you believe in this god, that this god, really exists?

I still think Sri Lankan food is the best food in the world, I think partially because it's so difficult to get. I used to think Ethiopian food was the best food in the world, until I had it 100 times. It's still good but not "the best food in the world".

Thai.. I'm never in the mood for Thai, but I never regret it when I get it - this is actually probably the best food in the world, at least for me. I have never walked out of a Thai place and been like "I wish we went somewhere else", but I'm never in the mood for it.

@FarmersWon I wasn't clear on your answer last time: what are you? I got the impression that you're an Afghani Muslim, is that correct?

FarmersWon says

richwicks says

No it is Hindoo mythology and all their stories are fake. There is a zero chance that a monkey can fly.

At the same time Monkey God is responsible for making the DNA of Hindoo genocidal.

I read this as a contradiction in your thinking.

I do not believe there is significant difference in people based on DNA although I accept there is some difference. Most of a "race's" differences are based on the software, not hardware.

You could be substantially like me, or me substantially like you - if we just exchanged environments and superficial physical features as infants. If we had brain transplants, entirely exchanging them, at 1 year old for example.

FarmersWon says

If Americans have started killing Muslims indiscriminately after 9/11.. I would called US DNA same as Hindooo genocidal filth.

The US started killing people in Afghanistan and Iraq. It had nothing to do with their religion, it had to do with pipelines and resources. The US government has no stance on religion whatsoever.

FarmersWon says

As they behaved and response was not brutal on innocent Muslims, US is nothing like ugly Hindoo DNA.

There were 800,000 Iraqi people killed in a war to end a non existent weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq. That was the official reason for the war, what as the real reasonS for that war? Installing US bases, moving bases out of of Saudi Arabia, providing energy exports to Israel, many other things I am too ignorant to know about - but there are many other things. The real reasons only become apparent with time, and it's been over 20 years.

The US doesn't kill Muslims because they are Muslim - they kill people because they stand in the way of stealing shit. If Iraq was entirely Christian, Hindu or Shikh, they would have done the same. You don't understand sociopathy at all.

FarmersWon says

There were millions of people who protested against Iraq war. Bush is war criminal.

Every US president is a war criminal. Remember when William Clinton blew up the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant? He did this on August, 20, 1998.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Shifa_pharmaceutical_factory

You know what else happened on August, 20, 1998? Monica Lewinsky presented her cum stained dress to prove she was giving blow jobs to William Clinton.

https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/specials/starr/testimony/lewinsky_1.html

The destruction of the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant was just a distraction from Bill Clinton being a fucking male slut. It's estimated that around 50,000 Sudanese died as a result of destroying this pharmaceutical plant.

He claimed he bombed the Al-Shifa plant because "it was making chemical weapons precursors" - there's absolutely no evidence of this. It was a complete lie. He bombed a plant making drugs designed to help people entirely for selfish reasons - to distract from blow-jobs.

These are the psychopaths we have in power and I know that's difficult to accept, but this is the truth.

Don't look at my government through rose colored glasses. See it as it is.

tell FBI that they defaced BLM mural and participated in Jan 6

Woo seems to think Trump wants the legal lockdown gag order, presumably so that nobody can blame him directly for referrals coming from Congress to military tribunals for the shit they are finally investigating.

DOJ is dead in the water and captured beyond captured, so Woo knows how the Woo goes there?

Maybe jail him, but a gag order doesn't stop him from campaigning. He just can't specifically talk about this case. Which is easy enough without mentioning it but hinting at what he's talking about. This whole thing is a nothing burger.

Fact is even if it's not Trump who do the Democrats have? Biden? If he dies who else? The R's have other viable candidates that don't make you throw up in your mouth. They push some fag because of "inclusion" or whatever BS they come up with. They'll then get 300M votes (somehow my kids can vote) and keep running this dumpster fire into the ground.

Trump will probably be convicted, but overturned on appeal
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/alan-dershowitz-says-trump-probably-will-be-convicted-but-verdict-will-be-overturned-on-appeal-video/

The question is, how fast can the trial and appeal take? Long enough to keep him from the race?

Trump is still being shadowbanned, de-emphasized, or de-platformed on everything but Twitter.

Elon has done a great deal for freedom, but even his resources are finite.

Chicom Tiktok is still not shut down.

The struggle continues.

Kennedy. But he tells too much truth about the toxxine and opposes foreign wars. The real powers find him unacceptable.
