THEY'D RATHER ADD ONE MILLION LANES TO I-25 THAN GIVE US A TRAIN. NO CONSTRUCTION CAN FIX THAT GOD FORSAKEN INTERSTATE.

If we add in one more lane than this time, traffic will be fixed, the state DOT told me them self. It’s not like natural bottlenecks lead to the more lanes there are actually worsening Traffic

(DOT worker voice) I don't want to hear about any of this "induced demand" college nerd bullshit, common sense means more lanes means cars will move faster. If it hasn't worked yet that just means we haven't added enough lanes. Are you saying common sense is wrong???

It is the year 2040, and Texas has added another Lane to its highway. Now, all of Texas is highway lanes with no houses no land no trees no

I like how very paradoxical humanity is, it’s rather cute
