So there has been road construction in front of my office for the past month. I don't know a lot about paving/destroying/repaving roads, but it seems to me that it's been relatively the same for the last 100 years. Houses can be built in a matter of days. We have thousands of different types of flooring. Why does it take sooo long to repair a road (and then it's shitty until the entire road is repaved). I live in one of the wealthiest places in the world and I swear, Route 101 is the absolute worst road in the industrialized world.
It's obviously an incentive issue (I assume govt contracts have something to do with it), but why hasn't a company developed a "new pavement?" How did pavement miss the boat?
On a similar note - WHY THE FUCK DOES IT TAKE 8-10 WEEKS to deliver the first issue of any magazine???? What are they doing? I call, tell them to deliver, it should be in my mailbox the next day - what are they doing for 10 weeks?? Could magazine companies really be that logistically fucked up? This one really pisses me off (more than the roads - although less frequently).
