Oh, nuts! More road construction. At least the road builders are having a good year... Oh, and the union slobs... “Wanted. Fat guys with cracks hanging out to fix roads. The educated need not apply...”

such a good year in fact, that they went on strike here in Illinois during the summer for higher wages

Everyone else is out of work, and they strike in the middle of their projects that we paid for.

These were heavy equipment operators union thugs, who got done with the “tear up” portion of their federally funded projects, then went on strike, so the roads were useless.

Every one of them should have been replaced. There are enough non-union folks out of work who would have been happy to take those jobs for the $38 an hour.

Here in Ohio we have long since adopted the orange barrel as our state flower. Roadwork this summer has been no more than in any other ordinary year. Only the signs are different.
