First, you would first be transferred to half a dozen offices and departments because no one wants to take the call, and when it gets to the right people they put the message on someone's desk who may or may not remember to do something with it or forget and throw it away. Assuming the lazy bureaucrat decides to do something about it he sends it to the road maintenance department, where it is put on a 6-month waiting list.
John Bell
Nah, that's a capitalist bureaucracy.

I cant laugh hard enough.
Camden Clark
i would just go to one side of the pothole or straddle it between the tires, whatever gets me past it safely, and not call anybody about it, fuck the government, they all just want money and power and i plan on giving them as little as possible
Jonathan Campbell
>This
Roads are money sinks. They never recover their building costs - mainly because cities build too many and too wide
Adrian Ortiz
yup, the world should abandon asphalt and concrete, and just use road bed gravel, and just smooth it with a grader once every 6 months, make all speed limits 25 MPH in town, and 40 MPH on the highways out of town

I use potholes as an excuse to fix anything wrong with my engine in my cars. Hit pothole, fucks up underneath of engine after a few tries and call insurance company and blame pothole. Free repairs every time.
Isaac Russell
>implying business would ever own roadways Private companies dont own roads in the US? Here in Mexico it has worked pretty well, there's this highway across central Mexico that saves you a ton of time and the best part is that is expensive enough to keep plebs out of it, so things like drunk driving or being a stupid fuck on the highway are not a problem

I was designing it around American bureacracy.
Recently got a govt job, no greater red pill than realizing Leftists imagine government control being paradise opposed to the hell of red tape the DMV is. And the DMV is how EVERY aspect of the US government works.

I pay for the insurance and I'm a safe driver. IM GONNA BENEFIT FROM IT IN SOME WAY.

Doesn't that effect you premiums?
My grandmother claime for a new fidge after a storm and ended up paying more every year than was the cost of the fridge.

Even in a socialist utopia not all potholes will be fixed
it's cheaper to drives past a hole than spend thousands of dollars to fix every hole
Andrew Butler
This is why insurance should be state run and non-profit
Alexander Anderson
Shitty socialism story?
>Working at a subcontracted call center for the city >Mostly for after-hours maintenance requests and things in need of immediate attention >Local electric "company"(state subsidized monopoly) has had several power-outs recently due to excavators severing power-lines(city workers fucking up) >Receive a call in the middle of the day >Caller: "Hi, I'm unsure if this is the right department, but could you stop ruining my driveway?" >Ask some further questions. Turns out that there are contracted workers digging a hole in the center of the city, just outside his property. >They are using an excavator(which backed in to his driveway) to dig a hole in order to reach the powerline in order to connect a new lamp-post to the grid. >They succeded in blocking the only way to the parking area of the apartment building he owns. >When he asked them how long it will take, they could not say, but they did inform him that a separate work-crew will come by to fix the hole. >No one knows what workcrew. >They would not fix his driveway due to it being private property >Gave him the number to the city's service line. >He is probably still waiting for an answer.

As a person living in a socialist society i can tell you how it really goes.
>live in socialist utopia >suddenly a pothole appears >stop the car and telephone the road maintenence department >speak to a road maintenence worker and tell him exactly where the pothole is >nothing happens > after 4 years and hundreds of phonecalls and even complaints in local newspaper they arrive > a full team closing down the street for 2 weeks and costing taxpayers 3 million > a week later it rains and pothole is back due to a bad fix

Suppose that there is a starvation situation, and the parent of the four year old child (who is not an adult) does not have enough money to keep him alive. A wealthy NAMBLA man offers this parent enough money to keep him and his family alive – if he will consent to his having sex with the child. We assume, further, that this is the only way to preserve the life of this four year old boy. Would it be criminal child abuse for the parent to accept this offer?

Not with accident forgiveness. Also I have murica home shield and for $45/mo if my fridge fucks up, AC blows out, stove won't come on, light on front porch goes out and I'm too lazy to change it they'll cover the costs to repair or replace it with a similar same price unit. Works great as this fucking heat made my AC unit go out 6 times and its 24 years old.
