I saw that a lot when I was a cable tech. People would have problems, determine it was their inside wiring, try to fix it themselves and sometimes cause more issues

but you can voluntarily higher someone who gets the job done well, no need to have the government as the middleman and overbudgeting the shit out of it

And then have the govt reimburse based on receipts? I could support that. Personally I wouldn't be excited about still having to pay out of pocket at first, but if reimbursement was done pretty quickly I wouldn't mind as much

the government shouldn't be doing that to begin with, so the least they could do would be reimburse and not include that on their budget anymore

including upkeep

What about situations where a whole section of road needs to be redone though? Try to get a bunch of people to crowdfund it?

yeah

For example on that same highway in MD I remember one time they shut down like 5 miles at a time for repaving, no idea how much that costs

Shut down one lane rather

i read about the case of an entire community who crowdfunded the building of a bridge and ended up managing to pay like 5% of what the municipal government had estimated

Now that you mention it

Didn't Donald Trump do that with an ice skating rink?

Like the government couldn't get it done, he said he could do it and got it done under time and under budget?

they didn't get refund, but it was a great case to show the glaring differences between what the government pays and what private citizens pay

yes

before he became the evil boogyman he is now, a lot of people loved him for that

One of my favorite things he did that I never have had someone able to explain after calling him racist...when he bought Mar A Lago in Florida, it was segregated. He bought it, immediately sued the govt and got it desegregated.

But somehow, he's a horrible racist.

Orange man bad

At least more people are realizing how much of what the media puts out is bullshit

didn't he also get some sort of prize from black leaders?

OH GOD

Help

I'm in a mandatory anti harrassment lecture at work

@F.Pazuzu yeah, I believe it was actually presented by black leaders like Jesse Jackson too

They put up things on the wall and told us to decide which one is the most inappropriate

THEY'RE ALL HILARIOUS

GOD I'M GONNA GET FIRED
