Right!
Me. I would build the fucking road.
They can't even take care of the fucking roads when I call on a pothole! Years! It takes years!
If I didn't pay taxes for fucking baby dental care when I don't even have kids, I would be out there paving the road from my house to everywhere I needed to go. And the moment it was cracking up under my babys rims is be out there with another bag of asphalt the next day.
Is it a toll road? Nah. I can't enforce that. Use it for free. But you sure as hell ain't parking in front of my house or in my spot where I'm going that's all I'm saying.
People be racing to use my roads. Nicest roads the world over. Taking pointers from the Romans and shit.

Taxes (what is actually collected) currently go to paying interest on already borrowed currency, or the military industrial complex.
Roads are built by borrowing more currency through a bond issue, letting government contractors bid to get the privilege of overcharging the government to build the road, then doing it as cheaply as possible, to repeat the cycle in a few more years after the road is damaged.
The people who will sell you cars will build the roads and maintain them.
who is this guy hes good. i want to see if he has any other videos
Sweden subsidizes them though 😪
"The result is a private–public partnership in which government subsidizes road costs with grants from the budget. "
