The highway in question is cratered with potholes due to shoddy, cut-rate roadwork that disintegrates at the first sign of inclement weather.

The worst part? There's a train between those same two cities, but the state of the railways in this country is beyond the pale, ironically because the government is pretending to invest in shiny new roads that...are cratered with potholes and disintegrate at the first sign of inclement weather.

Wow I’m shocked that right wing religious extremists are shit at governing!

You'd be even more shocked that left-wing politicos, who were in power thrice as long, were equally bad and created the mess that has to be managed.

What year do you consider these theoretical people to have been in power? When did their reign of terror end?

haha. The Congress is not left-wing? The party that decreed we were a "socialist," secular republic? Is the current government doing anything that is not a continuation of what previous ones were doing?
