😂
If you go off the main streets here in Dillon, Mt. You should have 4 wheel drive! 😳
I genuinely hate the people who standby recording people hit those potholes. Instead of spending that time to wave people some caution or show some decent courtesy, they go and film someone's potential financial nightmare happening. These people actually love watching the world burn but complain when it happens to them smh.
Our roads are just like the 🧠 s & ❤s of our people…endless broken empty holes & nothing to fill them with 💔💀
Y’all remember the infrastructure deal that was totally NOT going to just increase inflation?
With all that weed money they cant fix those potholes?
There just fixing it and the new liquid solutions that they spray in certain cities or towns are probably not tested enough. Another answer is probably the money that is allocated to fix the roads are allocated in someone(s) pockets.
And this is a part of the budget Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans want to cut. For the love of God don't vote Republican!!
Alignment in time
California and New York.
I wonder why.
Build back better !
Ukraine needs more ammo
Welcome latin america
Quick to take your taxes but the money is for private jets instead lol.
WHERE'S OUR TAX & LOTTERY FUND MONEY BEEN GOING & WHY HAVEN'T THE PIPES, ROADS, BRIDGES, AND SCHOOLS BEEN UPGRATED OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS?? AMERICA IS CRUMBLING & PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM THE CORP AND GOV'T GREED!
I live in LA and the pothole are the size of two pizza boxes.
Looks like first world countries also got problem like this, lol
Asphalt is a horrible substance for roads. It falls apart every few years like clockwork.
But we just spent 1 trillion on infrastructure
So why do they put pot in the pavement? Obviously we will end up with a bunch of potholes when the bongers find out.
Americans just don’t know how to build good roads, like in Europe 😂
Because in Europe unlike in (the US), Municipal Road Departments award contracts for road work to independent companies based on the quality of their work and their guarantee that their work will last for a long time, rather than outsourcing the work to companies who offer the municipality the lowest price !!!
Could also be because we're not actually maintaining our roads. And when we do " fix" them we cut corners to save money which makes the road even worse
“Potholes on the rise”?! That’s a bit of fake news I’m afraid. To my knowledge they always crumble and collapse!
American archaic infrastructure. Maybe America should blame the Chinese for being the world's leaders in infrastructure and fast speed rail. Maybe America should blame the Japanese for having bullet trains way back in 1964 when The Beatles released their first record album. America, 59 years behind the rest of the world. Last year there was radioactive water leaks in Minnesota and now Philadelphia and Louisiana. Where is Biden's infrastructure funding? Surely DeSantis hasn't used the infrastructure funds to send migrants from another state to another state like he did with the Covid funding.
and mechanics and used car salesmen and dealerships are just an oasis of trustworthy behavior when you need a repair or purchase a new vehicale
Maybe someone should just say pot holes are racist so the government will act😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Of course the republiCONs will no to any build back better agenda.
Infrastructure Bill didn't work?
Potholes are crazy. Specially in New York
that why we need public transportation
Man, great journalism. Point out another responsibility that state and local governments cannot do even though they take taxes from us every paycheck. California would rather spend that money on the homeless because they dont care about the average citizen.
You need concrete roads to last long.
Lol title is set up like it's a bunch of bad guys.
If the city of Akron hires me I'll fix them here
Welcome to a 3rd world country
I live in Philadelphia and i drive a mercedes and my wheel and tire replacements arent cheap. I had to replace my wheels and tires 4 times because of Potholes just this year luckily the city reimburses it if you can prove your car was damaged because of the pothole, but that takes months and months down the road. Anyway, if your car is damaged on a interstate due to a pothole here in Pennsylvania you can report it to the state and have them reimburse you i dont know how it works in other states but here in PA they will as well in Philadelphia
Yup happens every year. Give it a week or two and everyone will go from complaining about potholes to complaining about construction.
This is because we never should have built (many) any roads or vehicles or houses or anything!
We should have built only Tower cities connected to maglev Trains worldwide!
And that destroys capitalism, which is all myths and subtle lies, because it’s slavery and illegal!
they really should let people choose where their taxes go. at least for state taxes.
This has been happening for decades…something needs to be done to protect people from the dangers of potholes. Horrifying!…you can see the fear and Horror on the faces of drivers. Im crying right now…its sad that people are at risk. This is an attack on American infrastructure. God help us
Glad to say that here on the West side of Bakersfield, CA, the roads are very good. No complaints.
Watch out for Pothole Zilla
Yep and if the pot holes don't get you the rough roads will
