Fuck Flock.
But the cost of road repairs are orders of magnitude more expensive.
My small town entered a contract for 11 flock cameras, and it cost about 65 grand. We also repaved 10 small streets and it cost 8 million.
Maybe look closer into each job, see where the money is going?
I’d also gladly pay for more maintained roads than a surveillance system. If everyone just did their job, we’d already be in a greater situation.
Cops getting caught stalking their exes on flock ststems, trying to track down a guy who picked up $30 he found on the ground? Cmon, let’s be real. There are serious issues, but it’s always low hanging fruit they go for rather than the jobs that pay the bills, like taxing million/billionaires. Thanks Reagan, you ass hole.
Fix tax loopholes, institute a wealth tax ( no billionaire got where they are without exploiting people), help people, invest in education, NOT the military, who couldn’t even find a way to help a ship they stuck at sea for almost a year. We have literal criminals running our government.
I’d rather raise al Capone from the dead and let him have a go, he at least fed the poor with soup kitchens. We’re arguing over whether a child should have free lunch like it’s the crime of the century. It’s unfuckingbelievable the petty shit we have to rule on.
NO child should ever go hungry, I don’t give a fuck if his or her parents murdered 100 people.
That sounds like corruption. A guy with a shovel doesn’t cost that much.
You don’t fix a road with a dude and a shovel. The horror you’re seeing there is exactly what happens to a road when you just keep shoveling gravel and cold mix when you need to do at least a mill and overlay, but probably a full-depth repair.
And when you start doing stuff like that now you’ve got to start planning around the underground utilities. Beneath the road you may have water, sewer, gas, electricity, telecoms and more. You’ve got manholes, handholes, storm sewer. And on top of that, half the owners on either side of the road don’t know where their property line is and they’ve installed irrigation systems in the ROW without a permit and the contractors hit water lines they don’t know about every hundred feet, stopping work and costing more money.
And all of this has to be coordinated with the various utility providers to try and make sure yout plans and theirs align. You don’t want to spend millions fixing a road only to have the gas company come in a week later cutting a bunch of trenches and holes they just fill back with a patch, causing the road to fall apart in 2 years instead of 20.
Like 400k kids go missing each year and flock has helped find exactly 0 of them. They can’t even be bothered to do some bullshit PR stuff to even pretend it’s for “our safety”.
is the top not the simplest incentive to get people to use public transit?
Public transit basically doesn’t exist in the US outside of metropolitan areas lol
yes, and that needs to change.
Can’t even get Internet and power cables buried and maintained, good luck with masstransit in rural areas.
My job is 45 miles away from my home. Live on a farm work in a city. I like my job and I like my farm. Also, are busses and carpool vans immune to potholes?
