Back in 2013 we were in Michigan. We were on a pitiful, potholed road, and came up behind a MDOT truck. It had two men standing in the bed of a dumptruck, shoveling hot asphalt onto the road. Right into a pothole full of mud and water. Then they drove off. No compacting it, no effort at all except to toss loose asphalt into a muddy water filled hole, and let the traffic pack it down. We knew for certain why the roads were so bad.

I guess it's easier to fix the road than fix the Ferrari.

And the point of it is it shames the council into doing something about it themselves.
