ted isn't wrong

not like they were being talked about before anyways

if he's right he's right

who cares what retards think

I hate roads because they bring niggers closer to my doorstep and for every other reason he listed plus many more.

@Splaet

Modern roads are designed specifically to withstand the friction of thousands of cars driving through them at upwards of 60mph every single day

Not many materials can withstand that without constant need of repairs

They also need to be built cost-effectively, expediently, and at an incredibly larger scale

Comprimes need to be made

@Pseudo-Analysist i see the trad skillcraft but the road comparison is a bad example

Yeah

The main issue with asphalt afaik was water freezing in tiny cracks where it expands and causes the cracks to get worse and whatnot

They're usefull because they're more even, were cheap since asphalt was easy to make with the byproducts of refining of oil and more comfortable to drive on which was especially valuable when cars didn't have suspension that was decent

Paving stones are already cracked so that is not an issue. But they are terrible for high speed travel.

Yeah

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
