A little concrete revenue enhancement therapy

          So here you are living your life, minding your own business watching a government servant, a servant of the people, walk down your sidewalk and just drop a $3,300 bill into your lap. The best part is he picks and chooses, totally at random - like a coin toss, who gets a little concrete revenue enhancement therapy today. Your neighbor across the street has a 12" x 24" patch of grass in the middle of the sidewalk- a hugh pot hole, that's ok. Across the street the concrete is three times as bad - that's ok too. But your minor cracks those need to be replaced. The theory is, the new concrete will cover your street the same exact way that a drunk stumbles around in the dark, from side to side. So now 15% of the concrete on the street is in good condition, if you stumble around like a drunken sailor, you will have a chance to walk on some good concrete. What is truly out of the ballpark, is the fact that on the other side of the street is a hugh church, they have 50 X the foot traffic that our side of the street has. There you go, government at its most efficient, serving & protecting the smallest amount of people.



Enjoy the work in progress.
