      Yes, but that’s all subsidized by taxpayers, so it’s more expensive overall but cheaper for YOU.

        There’s definitely direct economic damage here too beyond just repairs and slowness. It’s sniffles business growth because the infrastructure is unreliable.

        Sometimes I just like yo imagine how much fun the roads would be without trucks.

      What you don’t get is that trucks last less and consume more, therefore it’s better for the robber barons.
