Some politicians are calling for up-grading and repairing our infrastructure. Certainly that's a smart thought, as if you improve the flows of your civilization you get right back 10-fold in efficiency. In the meantime you frequently cause bottlenecks during construction and really harm the runs and efficiencies of the civilization.
Today then your worst time to do construction, develop bottlenecks or up-grade infrastructure is at the same time when the flows of transport have been in crisis. That would be today with oil barrel rates nearing $85.00 once we transfer to our maximum Hurricane Period and march off to war or perhaps a key showdown in the nuclear situation with Iran. Large fat rates alongside over-regulation has set our Transportation Field in an important disaster and that is no time to incorporate delays or bottlenecks to the flows of civilization. But enables thumb back to the recent past in 2001 one with similar conditions. Large oil prices, around regulation and a lot of construction. Listed here is an excerpt of a write-up I wrote in the past;
"With the structure and the hours permitted to drive paid down, more trucks are essential however cannot be afforded as trucking companies combine and resort to selecting parolees as individuals due to the reality there is no drivers. Number rest stops to hold the trucks both as a result of increase. Many towns rebelling without any trucks permitted on city streets such as for example in New Jersey. Stay on the highway and hold driving though it is currently against what the law states to operate a vehicle a lot more than eight hours and traffic is increased as a result of amount of trucks, increased permit rules, down sizing of state staff to problem enables, reduced hours to matter permits. What is planning on here? OFR, over-friggin-regulation, on top of gas price increases. By ruining Americas circulation process we're crippling America, and I wouldn't be amazed when there is a nation large truckers strike. You want to see this nation drop to their knees. It'd take less than 6 days. There could be rioting in the streets, operates on what was remaining at the food markets, number power, jc general contractor."
Now then is this really what our state wants right now? Or do we must temper our drive for new infrastructure jobs till we can bring oil rates in check, build more improving volume, improve the usage of new energy efficient systems, resolve the Iranian Situation and their OPEC deal war attempts and remove much of the over regulation eliminating the industry today? I really hope you'll believe on this in 2006 and end our government from making anymore asinine linear decisions on the flows of our society
