Especially cobble stone pavement. Well done artificial paving stones are not that bad.

I could see them being a good option for more backwards countries

Where asphalt might be a bit too high tech

Yes but they are so dumb and lazy they would rather use their shitty roads than make an effort.

I really like paving stones because you can easily reuse them, add to existing pavement repair it and they also look better than the alternative.

True but their governments should be able to make them make roads
Labour costs aren't really a factor in Africa so what's stopping them really

Maybe a big issue is that paving stones might get stolen

Downsides are the weeds growing through.

Oh yeah certainly. They can't even have manhole covers because they get sold for scrap.

lmao

It's kind of sad if you think about it, unless they have constant supervision they will always fall back to their precivilization level. They can't even maintain most of the basics.

But I want pretty roads in the first world first.

Like as you said there are so many things they could do to make their lives better even without much knowledge or money but yet here we are.

I don't want roads as I've already stated before but they are somewhat unavoidable like the neolithic revolution.

I could see some ways to at least make parts of Africa look nice
Basically fences off a place and only let people enter if they meet a certain IQ requirement

Then invest into infrastructure only there

Only viable for a tiny minority but still

The rest prolly would do well to adopt older technologies again

I would love to do something like that, the land itself has immense potential.

Like bring back coopers

Because what are 80 IQ types going to do

kill everyone with machetes?

Basically

Bring back slavery

unironically

Tfw bring back slavery only to be enslaved yourself after you lose to another warlord

Yeah whatever as long as I get a cute slave gf that would be alright. When I am talking about bringing back slavery I don't mean everyone can enslave everyone but only like dumb people who would be better off under supervision but this would lead to me being enslaved by someone being higher IQ than me which means we would all be enslaved by Jews which I don't want but we are already there so what does it matter anyway.
Fuck.

Slavery is always there where it is visible or not, okay maybe this sounds a bit too marxist.

Just leave half the country on subsistence farming or to be correctecd by the invisdible spirit of Malthus

I see the elite class in third world shitholes sort of as life support

Where the underclass is a parasite leeching off of them just to subsist

Not a healthy arrangement

Which is why I like the idea of fenced off cities that give 0 fucks about what happens on the outside

Ppl like to meme Rwanda as Africa's Singapore but that's the only realistic way you'rre going to have a Singapore on that continent

Unless you import foreigners which afaik tiny, tiny nonafrican minorities usually pay for an absurd proportion of the budget of African countries

Not just South Africa

In Madagascar for example it was Indians

Yeah indians are big in east africa

brb

in west afrika there are Lebanese and south of course whites.

If you are willing to deal with those nibbas you can make a lot of money for sure. And not just mining and so on but especially retail and phone services.
