One was about a boy living in Britain as the Roman Empire collapsed. The story begins with the child’s first noticing that something is wrong when he sees grass growing up between the stones on the Roman road and sees that any damage to the road is suddenly no longer being repaired.

Bingo.

Letting our transportation infrastructure erode is a very bad idea.

It has many knock-on effects, from driving businesses and other investors away to degradation of emergency services, and it reduces the tourist trade. I have seen delivery services refuse to deliver to an address because of the state of unpaved roads.

But this must delight the Kenyan Clown, who is determined to see our country destroyed.

That's because marxist bottom feeders don't care about good or bad ideas, they only care about getting their way and their idiotic agenda.

While its true that not every road needs pavement, every road does need maintenance. The choo choo marxists don't want taxes to fall to a level equal to the required upkeep costs of the roads. They want those roads to fade into memory and force people to use the trains. Meanwhile less cars will mean less cattle to milk to fund their failroad and eventually they'll go seeking to leech off somebody else.
