How do you feel about the government restarting the economy by taking autocratic control of it?

Maybe but not a truck.
And an ox doesnt have the power or traction to rip up the concrete.

OPs pic is retarded because Roman roads were built by roman engineers. They spent far longer than a modern engineer learning their craft before they were let loose on real projects.

>hurr durr i don't understand how things work so let me complain
nigger you can see in your picture why one lasts longer than the other but the one that breaks apart sooner is better
don't be a disingenuous nigger you filthy cunt

Our roads are built by the lowest bidder and illegals. Roman Roads were prioritized

I think this is mostly due to capitalism though and not really engineers Tbh. Like in capitalism companies have literally 0 incentive to build things that last because they want to keep reselling their stuff and if stuff doesn’t break they will make less money.

>then engineers arrived
Why are you an absolute retard? They had universities and degrees in ancient Rome and Greece. They also had civil engineers, going all the way back to ancient Egypt.

The Romans were capitalist too though which undermines your theory.

Those roads they built probably equal less than a percent of the roads we've built. Can't build the same way on a scale that massive.

天安門大屠殺

Were they? Well I know that in capitalism at least modern capitalism companies build stuff to break after a while on purpose so that they can keep selling their stuff.

Laughing that noone here realised they had 18 wheelers 2k years ago .
Learn some fucking history !

???

This user gets it. Most road projects of note are DOT designed and not local DPW/Highway Department and subcontractor designed. Because of affirmative action, engineers with any form of credibility work for private companies and not state or even local government. Shaniqua who was an African exchange student, who happens to check off multiple diversity boxes, should not handle projects without supervision and adhering to AASHTO guidelines.

t. Civil Engineer

Zig Forums back at it again with the anti-intellectualism.

>romes roads take on civilian footsteps and the occassional cart and ox

>asphalt roads absolutely hammered on the daily by 40 ton 18 wheelers

These are not even comparable nigger

Ffs Sweden's iq really landed in the toilet... wonder why

>Were they?
Yes

>Well I know that in capitalism at least modern capitalism companies build stuff to break after a while on purpose so that they can keep selling their stuff.

I have a nice Jaguar car from the 1970s that seems to have lasted really well. I guarantee when these modern electric cars are falling to bits my old jag will still be going.
Jaguar was a capitalist company in a capitalist country.

>in capitalism at least modern capitalism companies build stuff to break after a while on purpose
You don't know what capitalism is. Capitalism is just private ownership of businesses. it has nothing to do with how you run your business.
Socialists make shit that breaks too.

Also ancient Rome was actually more capitalist than we are today. they had absolutely no social programs.

>they had absolutely no social programs.

I thought they had free bread for citizens of rome?
In general you are right compared to today its nothing.

>Yes
Well I didn’t know that.
>I have a nice Jaguar car from the 1970s that seems to have lasted really well. I guarantee when these modern electric cars are falling to bits my old jag will still be going.
That’s nice to hear, but most stuff break after a while and on purpose too. Like lightbulbs for example I think have a built in life expectancy so that lightbulb companies can keep selling them.
But companies have incentives to make stuff break on purpose though. Otherwise they wouldn’t be able to sell as much stuff you know.
Social programs are a new thing though I think and we weren’t capitalist under feudalism and they didn’t have social programs then either. Idk how Rome’s economy worked Tbh but I don’t think it looked a lot like ours.

The romans hat planned the roads studied hard. The main difference is the romans in charge of building a road would have known that it was important for not only civilian use but for helping armies travel and thus they would have conducted their work with a sense of pride knowing they've left a mark on the world. Compare that to some double didgit retard laying tarmac for a Jewish owned penny pinching company the local council contracts because they're cheap.

Those roads are 100x as expensive to build, though. They're not feasible for countries with tens of thousands of kilometers of roads. Plus asphalt is much better for cars to drive on. Modern roads are also exposed to much heavier loads than those old Roman roads.

youve never worked a day in your life, have you?

Yep and people have been complaining about them since their exist.
