Hehe i can see the predicament there, clearly roads are not a priority,,,,,,,,, perhaps someone should enlighten them one of the major reasons why the Roman society was so successful back in the day,,,,, hint,,,,, roads,,,,, good roads.
BTW look at the blue garbage in the pic i posted above, it is free local newspapers my friend are not able to get out of receiving, but luckily they throw them there, which is not on his property, also they was supposed to be put in the mail box,,,,, but that have never happened.
Thats Denmark a world leader in environmental wokeness / awareness,,,,,,, or so they say, personally i am not impressed at all.
Personally i judge a society on a few things.
1: how they treat their elderly.
2: how they treat the sick.
3: how they treat animals not least pets.
4: the state of their roads.
5: the state of their nature.
Well, @kamkar, nobody likes to pay taxes but that is how we as citizens of a modern society all benefit from the infrastructure and public services we enjoy. To be sure, it's not perfect and there is often much waste and other problems in government but without taxes we would all be living in chaos.
I don't know about Denmark but here in New England we still experience pretty severe winters. Even now that Spring has started the temperature went down to 12º Fahrenheit last night (-11.111º C) and I'm still cleaning up downed tree limbs on my property from the last ice storm.
I remember seeing some time ago a report that indicated the worst areas for potholes was not the northern most places, even though they were generally the coldest, but somewhat further south where temps went through the freezing point more frequently. Further north it stays freezing and further south it freezes less so it's the place in between that goes through the freezing point more frequently that tend to be the worst.
