LOL, just a phone call and some paperwork i hear idk SWIM told me , but your local city usually handles it pretty well if your local has a council for it. my current city NO way would they go for this but in bigger cities o yea they planned for this they rather buy a rim over a hurt kneck lawsuit and way more "malicious" attacks on them
Yeah. Town busted the waterpipe leading from the road (town property) to my parents house after dragging massive construction equipment down the street. Told my parents to get bent, fixing it was my parent's problem.
that all depends, most of it comes from bills/eo/funding from the shit tards , yea its "tax money" but buy rims for potholes or genders study in pakistan ? you can only answer that one way.......... basically pay tax get nothing back or they broke your rim because you paid and they didnt do shit now you have a problem you fix it. ive seen it go down. let me break this down . machine shop owner SWIM has a ZR-1 its a normal ca road a sink hole formed , 10x + , fix pour asphalt in it , you know much a zr-1 rim cost ? what if you took out 4 fronts and 5 rears on a 150k car extra paid taxes getting raped by china ......... you tell the city im ballin i paid PLENTY of tax fix yur road my ballin ass vette is broke because you suck ..... they will fix your wheels , SEEN IT
I remember a story where this pretty much happened... except it was something like broken steps at a public park and someone fixed them. Can't remember if the guy was arrested or fined. Then the government redid the steps again because they said it wasn't up to their codes.
Yeah, I remember seeing that, too. The city said it would cost $65,000 for 8 steps or something. Guy went out and did it for $550, and the city ripped them out.
Once one concedes that a single world government is not necessary, then where does one logically stop at the permissibility of separate states? If Canada and the United States can be separate nations without being denounced as in a state of impermissible ‘anarchy’, why may not the South secede from the United States? New York State from the Union? New York City from the state? Why may not Manhattan secede? Each neighbourhood? Each block? Each house? Each person
DAE classical liberalism is just great? You can dissolve your national identity and get steamrolled by the left, but you get to say "I told you so" after the country is destroyed!
Neither does my Mustang. But the 1/4 mile is mostly rubber. My F-250 on the other hand groans when she hits pavement... It's probably the 38's.. but I like to think she likes being off road
True story about my F-250 SD. Before escaping King Ralph the Blackface Northam’s Virginia I was minding my own business one day driving around I-495 on my way home when it kicked into the regen/cleaning cycle and a big white cloud of smoke came pouring out of the tailpipes pretty much obliterating the view of the 4 lanes of traffic behind me. Suddenly a woman in a little lime green Prius pulls up next to me tooting her horn and waving her arms with a look of horror on her face. I smiled waved and kept going on my way. When I got off the highway a couple minutes later I pulled into a Giant Food to pick up some delightfully refreshing adult beverages and a bag of Utz potato chips to compliment the pork butt in the smoker anxiously awaiting my return home.
As I got out of my big black F-250 suddenly the little lime green Prius pulled up to my rear bumper and the woman jumps out screeching like a banshee about me killing trees, children, puppies and the planet. I said, “Lady I’m going inside for a couple minutes and if you’re still sitting behind my truck when I back out of here I might accidentally run over that piece of crap and crush it like the empty beer can it was made from.
A short while later as I left the store I noticed the flashing lights of a VA State Police and Fairfax County Police cruiser sitting within close proximity to my truck with the woman from the little lime green Prius pointing at me. The State Police Trooper approached me and asked if I was carrying. I said yes sir would you like to see my CCWP. He said yes please along with your drivers license, registration and your weapon. He said he used to carry a Sig P299 and preferred it to the Glock he now carried. I said, I’ve never really cared for those plastic guns either. He then asked me why I threatened the life of the lady in the little lime green Prius. I said I did not threaten her life but I may have mentioned crushing her little lime green Prius when I backed out if she didn’t move it. Then I explained exactly what had transpired over the 30 minutes prior to when he introduced himself to me.
He said the screaming lady said I threatened to kill her when I returned from the store. i said that was not true but I did mention telling her I mught crush her car like an empty beer can if she refused to move it as I was concerned about the pork butt in the smoker. He said while it was a poor choice of words on my part he believed I did not threaten her life. He also said we hope you understand when they ran my tags it showed I had a concealed weapons permit and the lady in the little line green Prius told 911 I threatened her life.
The State Police Trooper said he didn’t see any reason to detain me further, returned my ID and Sig P229 and said I was free to go. Then he went to speak with the Fairfax county police officer who was preoccupied with the lady from the little lime green Prius who was still viability upset. They spoke smiled and said something to the lady who began screeching and hitting the State Police Trooper on the chest. By that time the vehicle parked in front of me had left and as I was leaving I saw the Lady from the little green Prius being put into the back of the Fairfax Country Police Cruiser handcuffed.
I learned a valuable lesson that day and that is, if you drive a little lime green Prius don’t screech at a Virginia State Police Trooper and pound on his chest because someone in a big black F-250 Super Duty is destroying the planet when it goes into regen cycle.
The ironic thing is how that awful regen cycle is part of the emissions equipment that actually improves emissions, as well as reduces the reliability and lifetime of the engine, increases the cost of making it, reduces fuel economy, etc.
I’ve had diesels since the 70s and they were a lot more dependable and lasted longer without all these “improved emissions” equipment mandates. But it won’t be long till we fondly recall the days when diesel fuel could be purchased legally and we longed to see a regen cycle cloud following us down the road.
There are a lot of middle aged American women out there running around off their meds. That is nuts.
In defence of the Prius it is a very well made vehicle. I sometimes do a bit of work at a garage that repairs taxis and most of their fleet are 1.8 and 2.0 TDCI Ford Mondeos, a few Skoda Octavia 2.0TDI's a few Toyota Avensis 1.8 petrols and a bunch of Prius's. I have replaced the batteries and done a few wheel bearings and maybe the odd exhaust or shock absorber but they really are well made. It's a shame about the kind of people who drive them.
I have a brother in law who owns a NAPA car care ctr. who says they’re a lot better now than when they first hit the roads but a F-250 SD vs a Prius in any direction would’ve been ugly. Afterwards I realized it could have turned out a lot different had a couple liberal minded county policeman showed up that day. I was lucky the state trooper was there and seemed to take control of the situation. When she saw my handgun out and hand it to the trooper I instantly became a mass murderer. And the fact he really liked it didn’t go unnoticed either.
I don’t think the middle aged woman off her meds driving a Prius has as much to do with it as does the crazed liberal anti-everything mindset. Albeit you might be on to something. It might be a good idea if Toyota required liberal women of any age to be on meds before buying a Prius in order to protect their brand.
Sadly going to all dirt roads probably wouldn't be viable because heavy goods vehicles would probably struggle to use them. Transit times would increase significantly and they would eat wheel bearings and suspension parts.
That said how many places in the rural United States are paying $$$ to maintain tarmac roads they could do without?
Yeah, American tax payers don't even get anything good out of paying taxes. We are in a "taxation without representation" situation even worse than the Founding Fathers.
We also get the privilege of paying for the diabetes medicine of the poor, starving, overweight black girl. Forever! And her 6 kids! It's great, man! America, bitch. Love it or leave it!!
What, you think I wanted to keep that 20k in taxes I paid last year? Fuck no, I wanna pay for a million Tyrone's to eat bologna sandwiches, while they got phones newer than mine. That's my dream world!
Yeah, I worked a second job last year for a little while delivering for the courier apps. I LOVED venturing to the ghetto on the 1st and 15th, delivering food more expensive than my dinner to the young patrons of the projects who were partaking in alcohol and Marijuana while living on the taxpayer's dime. It's just...empowering!
While sending US Dollars, oil, and infrastructure to the Communist Party of China. While protecting the "vital" interests of European "allied" nations that send operatives to interfere in our electoral process.
European bureaucrats that serve ancient aristocracies should be captured via letters of Marque and Reprisal, spirited away to American loyalist territory, and summarily executed.
CA roads are prime example , i know place in my town with drit some places tho road changes material 5x in a few miles most bridges are deemed unsafe but we still drive them ........
Historian here. I have come across a few historical accounts from North Americans in the early 1800s that clearly describe private roads being in better condition than public roads. I wish that I saved them.
California has some of the worst overall road quality in the entire U.S. and yet we simultaneously have the 2nd highest gas taxes. Why? Because Dear Leaders use the PTA as their personal slush fund, and when the coffers started getting low because too many people were driving electric cars (after all their talk about renewables and cutting reliance on fossil fuels), Dear Leaders created a special user fee just for them to offset the account's budget shortfalls. Isn't the government great? To them, people are nothing more than commodities to be milked for revenue. No matter what, they're gonna get their pound of flesh.
The roads in this country were originally built by private citizens out of necessity. Wagon trails and horse trails followed foot trails. Don't think for a second that you need the government to get anywhere.
I should make an LLC called Pakistani Gender Studies and open a business checking account. Maybe some intern will screw up and accidentally wire me a couple million
Seriously though, besides spending money and starting wars, what does our fed gov that can't be done by states? They are fucking useless and tyranical. Get rid of it.
Where I live they wanted to repair a drawbridge on the big river right? Well they where having town meetings and whatnot, talking about raising taxes, tolls all kinds of things.
Well I went to one of these hearings and heard all this rhubarb once too many times. So I got up on my feet and yelled at the top of my lungs!
"Where did the funding come from to originally build this bridge? So where is it nowdays? You all are crooks and have your hand in the pot, yea that's what's up."
"You mean to tell me that 300 million people in this country and 7 billion people on the planet would just sit around in their houses and think “Gee, I’d like to go visit Fred, but I can't because there isn’t a flat thing outside for me to drive on, and I don’t know how to build it and the other 300 million or 7 billion people can’t possibly do it because there aren’t any politicians and tax collectors. If they were here then we could do it. If they were here to boss us around and steal our money and really inefficiently build the flat places, then we would be set. Then I would be comfortable and confident that I could get places. But I can’t go to Fred’s house or the market because we can’t possibly build a flat space from A to B. We can make these really small devices that enable us to contact people from all over the word that fits in our pockets; we can make machines that we drive around in, but no, we can’t possibly build a flat space." - Larken Rose
I'm amused whenever a conservative complains about taxes, and liberals always say 'what about education and roads?" Which two are the LAST considerations for government spending, and require special bonds, etc... to get paid for.
I mean.. I’m cool with dirt roads. When we start using American machinery and materials to rebuild roads instead of renting them from the UK and Europe.. then I’ll support it more. How ‘bout we get some good old fashioned American manufacturing back in the automobile game and build all the parts to last like we used to rather then buy ones from China built to break down after 2 years? If a few bumps in the road destroy your $40,000+, 1/2 ton, steel vehicle.. the problem might not be the road.. that said.. stop sending our money to other countries! We got enough shit to deal with at home. If individual civilians choose to donate their own money elsewhere they can totally do that. But that ain’t the government’s job. Government has one responsibility. It it’s people. That’s it. No one else. Even treaties exist to help our people, they aren’t there just to be nice.
Autobahn and Highways are more or less impeccable most of the time, because the government is obsessed with road construction. The strange thing is that the same government has been running an anti-automobile-psy-op for decades now. The tiling and paving of all those cycling- and walking routes has been a 30-year effort, after the government had run out of other roads to tile and pave.
If you don't mind a government making more money with your work than you do, go ahead and tax people for road construction.
For anyone actually wondering, the people that would build the roads are the same people who would build your driveway. Or the people the city already hires to fix roads. Except they have to be on time.
Town of 3,000 people in 3rd world country surviving on $10/day while being extorted by the government and harassed by police on a daily basis: Comes together and reconstructs entire road network over the weekend.
Hey fun fact, Gavin Newsome, governor of CA, re-appropriated funds meant to fix the roads to fighting climate change. Thank you dick head for acting like a dictator, which you've accused Trump of every single day.
Funnily enough, almost if not all government functions like this would be better performed by local communities contracting private businesses in an open, competitive tender process. They already outsource most of the practical work to crony union mates.
If this practice were extended to police, education and healthcare, we'd get a better quality of service and useless employees would not enjoy so much job security at public expense.

Wait, you got the government's attention and they responded to you? Which government building did you have to storm in order to do that?
LOL, just a phone call and some paperwork i hear idk SWIM told me , but your local city usually handles it pretty well if your local has a council for it. my current city NO way would they go for this but in bigger cities o yea they planned for this they rather buy a rim over a hurt kneck lawsuit and way more "malicious" attacks on them
SWIM told me too 4 stairs or more needs a hand rail DONT fall LOL, ADA compliance is NOT a joke in CA
Actually getting the government to be found at fault? What?
Yeah. Town busted the waterpipe leading from the road (town property) to my parents house after dragging massive construction equipment down the street. Told my parents to get bent, fixing it was my parent's problem.
town is key word im talkin city, it goes up to contractors and insurance, towns dont have this setup and shit can you
yea because, you turn it into the city not the state, CA has bought LOTS of rims for SWIM
It's not really Chad because the government's paying you with your tax dollars.
:/
that all depends, most of it comes from bills/eo/funding from the shit tards , yea its "tax money" but buy rims for potholes or genders study in pakistan ? you can only answer that one way.......... basically pay tax get nothing back or they broke your rim because you paid and they didnt do shit now you have a problem you fix it. ive seen it go down. let me break this down . machine shop owner SWIM has a ZR-1 its a normal ca road a sink hole formed , 10x + , fix pour asphalt in it , you know much a zr-1 rim cost ? what if you took out 4 fronts and 5 rears on a 150k car extra paid taxes getting raped by china ......... you tell the city im ballin i paid PLENTY of tax fix yur road my ballin ass vette is broke because you suck ..... they will fix your wheels , SEEN IT
Every penny of tax that gets wasted on court settlements, etc. is a penny less tax that will be spent on leftist projects.
I remember a story where this pretty much happened... except it was something like broken steps at a public park and someone fixed them. Can't remember if the guy was arrested or fined. Then the government redid the steps again because they said it wasn't up to their codes.

Y’all got pavement roads????
Dirty trucks mean dirt roads. Dirt roads mean dirty hands. Dirty hands make clean money. Fuck pavement
Not everyone drives a truck as their primary, and my roadster doesn't like dirt.
Neither does my Mustang. But the 1/4 mile is mostly rubber. My F-250 on the other hand groans when she hits pavement... It's probably the 38's.. but I like to think she likes being off road

We got enough shit to deal with at home. If individual civilians choose to donate their own money elsewhere they can totally do that. But that ain’t the government’s job. Government has one responsibility. It it’s people. That’s it. No one else. Even treaties exist to help our people, they aren’t there just to be nice.
This is a fairly prominent road for cyclists along the river danube, but most cycling roads, even obscure ones, are like that:

These are modern country roads:

Autobahn and Highways are more or less impeccable most of the time, because the government is obsessed with road construction. The strange thing is that the same government has been running an anti-automobile-psy-op for decades now. The tiling and paving of all those cycling- and walking routes has been a 30-year effort, after the government had run out of other roads to tile and pave.
If you don't mind a government making more money with your work than you do, go ahead and tax people for road construction.
You just need to straddle the crack. It'll be ok.
For anyone actually wondering, the people that would build the roads are the same people who would build your driveway. Or the people the city already hires to fix roads. Except they have to be on time.
Town of 3,000 people in 3rd world country surviving on $10/day while being extorted by the government and harassed by police on a daily basis: Comes together and reconstructs entire road network over the weekend.
Government: Builds 1mi of 2-lane road in 3 years.
Hey fun fact, Gavin Newsome, governor of CA, re-appropriated funds meant to fix the roads to fighting climate change. Thank you dick head for acting like a dictator, which you've accused Trump of every single day.
That is what you get for supporting the wars at the time...

Funnily enough, almost if not all government functions like this would be better performed by local communities contracting private businesses in an open, competitive tender process. They already outsource most of the practical work to crony union mates.
If this practice were extended to police, education and healthcare, we'd get a better quality of service and useless employees would not enjoy so much job security at public expense.
