      @OriginalTharios That might be true in some cases, but the PA Turnpike is a pretty clear case of the government messing up a previously well-maintained, privatized system. It used to be a smooth, cheap ride, but PennDOT's Act 44 has forced them to pay $450m annually to the state government, leading to a massive increase in toll rates over the last 11 years, and they're still billions in debt. Planned expansions have been cancelled, road rebuilds have been swapped out for patches, and toll rates still continue to increase while the quality of the road overall goes down. Property taxes have also gone up statewide and PA's stretch of route 80 now also has government operated tolls, yet little to no profits from any of these taxes and tolls actually go to the roads.
      edit: not saying you're wrong, just saying *in my experience*, privatization worked out better than government management.

The area just outside of them (where you pay) are by far the fithiest I have ever seen in the developed world. It's almost as if if a drunk or very poor person isn't going to magically no longer have to use the bathroom when you tell them they can't. They also have great senses of irony I guess.

      Kilroy 137 I know it was France and Spain, but the Thirteen colonies had help from almost all of Europe, counting the French Empire (not really an empire at the time, but you get the gist), the Spanish Empire, Sweden, The Netherlands and others. Prussians soldiers even trained the Continental army despite Prussia’s neutrality in the conflict. The only great power in Western Europe that wasn’t”t against Britain was Portugal because of their centuries old alliance/non-aggression pact. I shouldn’t have phrased it ‘alone’, but more like ‘you know, a couple drunk farmers’.

Saying they were American farmers when a lot of the US command was made up of experienced former British soldiers is an egregious misrepresentation of the war.
