I don’t think we can drive cars on the stone roads.

Durability deprives the opportunity that only a crumbling infrastructure presents for corrupt government to finagle favors to campaign donors. It's difficult to scratch one another's back if there's no itch.

Shi, like the roads atop may last forever, but thing is that they're shitty to drive a CAR on, we have many roads like that from the Russian Empire era, big rocks on a road, they last forever, sure, but fuck are they a pain in the ass to drive on if it's made really shit or just used up real hard and overall rarely are they made really level and smooth to drive on, can count on my one hand how many such roads we have here.

Yea, asphalt sucks ass if it's really shit and governments or whoever supposed to take care of the damn roads can go fuck emselves for not fixing the damn potholes, other than that, good asphalt is great to drive on.

engineering was a big part of why, it was how the engineering was done (we are lying about what is true to benefit corporations)
