Default Road to Nowhere on NPR

A lot of locals would want the road, because they'd be hoping to get a
job at the places on the roadside. Not to mention the people really
eager to get the paychecks from the construction work. The owners of
the equipment would get the most, but the laborers who are now out of
jobs aren't often (some will, but how many?) going to look past a year
or so of good pay.


All true. Nothing is simple, is it?

But then, the 600 million dollars for the construction would be spread
out.....God only knows where. The.....what was it.....52
million?....settlement might stay closer to home? Hm......maybe.

As far as the cemeteries are concerned, it'd be cheaper to hire litter
bearers to carry in the infirm who want to go and see their parents
graves than to build a road for them.


Also true. Sorta makes you wonder just who wants exactly what and precisely
why, eh?

Pontoon boats with those dock
/ ramp things to get them to the landing and then carrying. Hey, I'd
enjoy it.


You'd enjoy it even more if you'd ever actually seen the place. It really
IS lovely.

By the by, I agreed with everything else you said that I snipped.


So did I. Well......mostly.
