Agreed. It’s easy writing, that’s why everyone is jumping on the bandwagon. I would have been much more interested in a story that explained how much of this construction is permanent vs. temporary. Will they have to pave the roads each year? Or will the new paving hold up to standards for many years? (I’ll tell you…

Just adding this to warn everyone that they do the same thing on a late return.   Avis Budget , I returned a 3 week rwntal a day late (screwed up that my Labor Day weekend was Monday, not Sunday). $898 rwntal turned into a $5485 rental.   

He started as a rapper, tried to dis Eminem, and got humiliated so badly by Eminem that he switched genres to rock music.  

A good checklist is under appreciated in our society.   I’m saving this, just in case I lose my mind and buy a boat.

So if you have an extra $100k luring around to pay for your liability in an accident, go ahead. 90%+ of people in those states still pay…
