Source of the World's Problems

Oubaas · 05-16-24, 09:01 AM

I've been contemplating the source of all the world's problems, and I've come up with the answer.

Paving.

Both bituminous and concrete. If we tore up all of the paving, the world would quickly improve. Get rid of paved streets, roads, and runways.

Everything would become far more local. It would be much more difficult to control vast swaths of the world and screw everything up in an unending frenzy of greed and avarice.

Yep. That's it. All paved surfaces must go. I like dirt roads better anyway. And local dirt track racing is much better than corporate sponsored big league racing. Get rid of corporate sponsorship and paved tracks.

Formula One should be a dirt track event. Remove the paving from all the tracks and make the biggest sponsor Bob's Muffler and Exhaust Service. Then you'd have something.

Concrete production is a big producer of CO2 also

The Romans! They did this to us with their road building!

And yes, we could greatly reduce concrete production.

We need a dirt road world.

Makes one wonder how it would be like driving on one of these roads I'm thinking on the suspension they must be working real hard on these bumping Roman road.

Imagine driving 55/75 MPH on these roads
