Pictured: the libertarians worst nightmare

That's why you should privatise it fully btw. Shekeltrump is not gonna push that infrastructure plan without ruining your budget.

I've wondered for a while why there isn't just some app people can use to report potholes and two guys can just show up the same day with some asphalt to fill it in. Road repairs take so so long to happen.

With a competitive workforce no longer suckling on the government contract teat it would be easy for the average joe to hire an asphalting company to fix things like this.

>city's roads are fucking falling apart
>people are more than willing to lend a hand
>city has to say no because it breaks a hundred different laws, codes, and whatnot
yeah those fucking libertarians are such dumbfucks, sure thing OP

sage the slide thread everyone

>Fuel surcharge to pay for roads
>Only those who consume fossil fuels pay for the roads
>inb4 muh lawn mower

Why would the average joe pay for that? Everyone would just assume that someone else will pay for it, which theoretically means that no one would ever pay for it. It's the free rider problem.

That's why you MacPrivatise your ethnostate. People only care about things if it's truly theirs.

This is actually one of the best solutions I've seen for the problem, you'll be one of the last to get the rake.

most cities have so many regulatory hoops they have to jump through before they're even allowed to send somebody out to look at the hole, lots of times it doesn't seem worth it to the city, even though to the people its a nightmare.

Dude this is literally so short-sighted I can't even. If you don't respond to me in 20 minutes figuring out what's wrong with this I will tell you.

Eventually it will be worth it to SOMEBODY to pay for it.
If it never becomes worth it for anybody to pay, it's really not that big a problem.

Why should some people pay directly for road use when everybody benefits from infrastructure. Even if you dont directly use roads do you really think that the mall just delivers itself?

You're willing to bet that there's a good samaritan for every single pothole in every single city? What about in poor neighborhoods? Which poor person is going to pay for the pothole down the street? Also the pothole will never be a MAJOR problem to any individual person. It's a MINOR problem to a large number of people.

so you're saying that we could go all libertarian and it would be a lateral move. ok. so let's go libertarian then.

Dude that's not how it goes.
What are roads even? What is infrastructure? How did it begin?

>mall just delivers itself
You mean package companies like FedEX?
Or online companies that use them.
Then the couriers pay the road surcharge and pass the cost on

no good samaritans, just "fed up with this shitty little problem" samaritans.
And like I said, if nobody ever gets fed up enough to fix it, it's not really a problem.
Poor people can fill holes with sand for free.

Not true, libertarians believe in limited government, not anarchy. According to them, government exists to protect its people, enforce private property laws and contracts, and provide things that the free market has a hard time providing, such as roads.

The golden law of economics says that if it brings profit it's worth to do. That's why lowering the time preference and increasing trust and decreasing crime and stable law is key to economic prosperity.
I am a hoppean libertarian ethnonationalist. Which is like a covenant society anarchist.

Ads could easily pay for all maintenance plus a healthy profit. Nevermind owning the road+adjacent land and renting the land to other businesses. Plenty of business models without tolls.

we're not talking about economic prosperity, we're talking about fixing holes in roads

>unionized workers
>no bid contracts
>infinite government money to waste

>libertarians are anarchists goys! no taxes are justified ever

I got (You) leafbro!

True WASP societies are defacto Right Libertarian. But the jews and the niggers and spics have turned USA into a mess

At least it doesn't blow dust when it is raining.

More like Pictures: examples of shitty government not using tax dollars for what they are meant for.

Also Pictured: obvious defect that damages personal property and is a safety risk. However if a citizen fixes it they will be fined and possibly jailed by the city for tampering with public property and then sued by the unions for taking away their work.

but no no... this is clearly against the libertarians.

>not realising pothole-free roads are a part of economic prosperity
Look I'm willing to go for a compromise and socialize military, law and administration, but you honestly can't justify socialist infrastructure.

Dumb people cant possibly comprehend that others are not as dumb as them and are able to solve problems without aggressive interference.

>Look at this photo of a government built and maintained road having a severe problem that will inconvenience multiple private citizens because their taxes are going to Trayvon's 6th kid he doesn't even know he has while they live in danger every time they drive to work so they can pay their taxes.
You sure got me!

You can also have pothole free roads without economic prosperity, if you care enough.

I think I see it: the fuel surcharge goes to the private fuel company, not whoever is paying for the road maintenance, and there's no guarantee they'd pay the maintenance company? If that's not it, please enlighten me.

Well not what I thought of. The problem is that you tried to think of a solution different to the problem.
The problem - people using roads don't have to pay directly for the use, they only do it through other taxes. Your fix would be a direct tax from fuel to serve an infrastructure program. The problem is it would basically make the poor directly subsidize rich people in electric cars or other non-fuel vehicles, such as bicycles ( which would just turn out to be a redistribution program with no direct target ) .
My fix is just privatise the roads and let every road find a solution suitable for itself.
Some roads will be free, some will be toll roads like highways because it's very efficient for them.
Cities have a motivation to keep their roads in good shape, neigbourhoods too, like kid safety, aesthetics exc.
Some roads would be toll roads, some are free, some are paid for by groups of people, some by companies. Why would some roads be free? For example a market district with dozens of shops.
But then you subsidize it. What's the difference between a good economist and a bad economist? A good economist notices that which is not seen.
What is not seen? That if you solely focus on roads while ignoring other things, let's say 1m$, that 1m$ could have went to more profitable investments, more needed for society.
Private property market system works best, because people know what is best to them and since resources are scarce, only the most effective people at allocating them win.
Just MacPrivatise it man.
