My point wasn't that greedy corporations are holding up progress, in fact the total opposite. If we sold the streets to those very corporations, they'd be better maintained. I was saying that it's the government's fault that we don't have the best solutions. The streets are maintained by a monopoly, and monopolies are always bad. The government is that monopoly, they stifle competition by giving contracts to corporations that donate the most, but the corporations are only participating in a system set up by government. Take government out of the equation by privatizing the roads, and we wouldn't have a problem. Hey,
