How come there is enough asphalt for speed bumps, but not enough to fill potholes ?
(self.showerthoughts)
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
It's not the asphalt that is lacking.
It's the desire to spend money on the humans required to put the asphalt in the holes that's lacking.
Although, the other county that my county borders has pretty regular repair crews come out to fill the potholes... But they just fill them with gravel. Not only does it not last more than a week, the fact it's not sealed at all just causes more damage to the road, to vehicles driving over it, and to nearby structures when all that gravel is thrown and kicked around by shit driving over it. Just a phat waste of time and money to make shit even worse.
They should use some sort of clay at least.
