One can get extremely frustrated driving from Fayetteville to Rogers these days. There is construction everywhere, causing delays, lane closures, and much havoc on our commutes to and from home, school, and work. If you take out the frustration, one can see the positives to the improvements. The road worker who has been out of work for months is now able to provide for his family, the drivers are getting an improvement to the neglected roads traveled daily, the state is making an investment in their infrastructure that will last for many years to come, and our economy is showing a sign of improvement! Investing time and money into our infrastructure benefits all of us and is a sign to our economic growth. In the short term, the investment in …show more content…
For instance, if money and time was not invested in the roads in which we drive, we would be driving on one lane country roads that would seem impassable in today’s standards. Our commutes from Fayetteville to Bentonville would take hours. This would decrease our quality of living because we would be spending most of our time during the day in our commute and missing out on opportunity to be working making money to provide for our households. The list can go on and …show more content…
When one thinks about the quality of life in China, people assume that they are thriving due to the booming markets in their big cities. However, most of China is considered rural and conditions are not like that of those in the city. Over the past decade, China has invested time and money into developing their power grids and the development of roads and highways, amongst other things. Their increase in infrastructure has increased the quality of life for everybody involved. Because they are able to hire cheap labor, they have been able to employ hundreds, if not thousands, in order to continue their growth, which makes way for quality of life improvements. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, “China spent 9% of GDP on infrastructure...” (Laurel Graefe). That is a very measurable amount of money! Although infrastructure is one of the major components to a thriving economy, you must also take into consideration technology and the productivity of the people. If technology is not improving, it’s harder to improve the quality of goods and services provided. If a person in the work field is not productive in their work or undereducated in their work, the quality of the goods and services they are creating will not benefit the buyer and therefore goods and services will not be purchased. Therefore, technology and human productivity go hand in hand with infrastructure
The Houston Texans performance against the Kansas City Chiefs wasn’t pretty Saturday afternoon. In the Texans 30-0 blowout loss to Kansas City, Houston failed to establish an effective running game behind running back Alfred Blue, and Texans quarterback Hoyer never got in a rhythm throwing the ball.
Defendant’s trailer did not exceed the scope of the warrant because it was within the curtilage of his Asheville home. Four factor determine this: 1) proximity of the place to the home, 2) whether the place is enclosed with the home, 3) the place’s use, and 4) the steps taken by the owner to protect it from observation. United States v. Dunn, 480 U.S. 294, 301 (1987). If an officer knew or should have known the area was not within the scope of their warrant, they must exclude the area from their search. Maryland v. Garrison, 480 U.S. 79, 86-87 (1987). A search warrant must contain a statement that establishes with reasonable certainty that the premises can be searched and describe the items being seized. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 15A-246 (2015).
Serving in the military enables you to explore the country and experience different places, but none will be more enjoyable than Fayetteville North Carolina. The city of Fayetteville, North Carolina is located next to Fort Bragg Army Installation base. It is the home to the largest military paratrooper installation in the continental United States with over thirty thousand soldiers and also contains over one hundred thousand family members. With its immense populations comes the various types of restaurant and eatery. Its location makes it a perfect starting point to visit state/cities like Florida in the south and New York City in the north.
Following the staggering desolation of Gulf Coast hurricanes and levee failures, 2005, Louisiana started undertaking its infrastructure issues, which includes some very poorly maintained roads and bridges in the state. Louisiana has a backlog of more than $12 billion in needed road repairs, highway upgrades and bridge work.1 The congestion is just getting so bad in some areas that people are revolting about and it threatens the economic development of the state. Also, several communities have mega-project needs and desires that push the political candidates and leaders to plan their developmental plans accordingly.1
Highways made a vast contribution on the geographic landscape of America in a multitude of ways. In the past, roads throughout the United States have been neglected since the rise of railroads. The only existing roads that were located outside the cities were farm-to-market roads, which were unpaved, poorly marked. During this time, specifically during the 1910s, automobiles were highly expensive and only bought by the rich. As time continued, automobiles prices began to decrease, which resulted in an increase the amount of cars bought. With a larger quantity of the population owning cars, highways had to be reconstructed. The rebuilding of highways affected the United States because it resulted in society’s ability to travel vast distances
Fayetteville we were able to secure and support which we still are. We did end up finding alternate means of meeting our needs, we found storage units all over town filled with items that people couldn’t get to any longer. Granted, it didn’t belong to us and if the owners did ever show up again we left instructions on where it went and who to contact. To date we haven’t heard from anyone.
Harry, this reminds me of the last time it snowed in Decaturville,TN. The stores all had the driveway packs of salt that could be used to clear driveways before the incident at ACE hardware, Fred's, and Dollar General. The price in my case did not go up but the supply stayed the same because there was not a single bag to be found. This is also the case for other products like bread,milk, and eggs because every time someone mentions the word snow people run to the store and buy up all of the product. The demand temporarily goes up and the store does not have time to prepare and runs out
Big obstacle to the rise of the economy are Infrastructures, absence of free market institutions. Lets analyse these problems in details.
Western developed economies are considered to offer growth opportunities; countries like Brazil, Russia, India and China are becoming strong countries where opportunities for growth are emerging. It is vital to search on countries where market presences are potentially high. The markets like the US and the UK are examples of markets where quality of infrastructures is important element of the strategy decision.
Many people in the world want their countries to be developed, and they want to have a good quality of life. Also, they want their countries to have strong potential economy to compete with other nations. As a result, it is necessary for the government to work on improving facilities which are the basic foundation of life. In my opinion, governments should spend more money on improving public transportation, such as buses, subways, and trains instead of working on the construction of new roads and highways for several reasons.
China is a relatively new power, a new power that has developed faster than any other nation of its age on earth. China has grown at such a high rate because of its authoritarian government, the bureaucracy of democracy is non-existent. Take HS2 in the UK, the miles of red tape change causes mean improving transport links takes years to even get started. In China if the government wants a new railway it builds it the following day. Its this philosophy that has allowed china to grow economically at an exponential rate. Chinas economic growth is over double that of the USA’s, China is second to the USA in military spending, and geographically its position is strong.
Beginning in 1980 when China entered the global market, it experienced remarkable growth in terms of GDP and net output. Much of its growth is attributed to its large amount of exports, particularly within the manufacturing industry. As a result, its GDP per capita increased significantly and the country as a whole became considerably wealthier. More recently, however, demographic changes and increased wealth inequality are hindering its growth. Between 2008 and 2015, the World Bank estimates GDP growth decreased from 9.623% to 6.9%. While its growth remains quite strong in comparison to other developing economies within its echelon (BRIC countries), its increasingly stagnant growth evokes concern for the future of its economy and prospects.
Nowadays, everyone says China is the second large economy in the world. In 2015, GDP of China reached $11,385 billion with a growth rate of 6.9%. Some people predict that one day GDP of China will exceed GDP of U.S. and that day will come soon. Unquestionably, China is growing rapidly and the Chinese economy is doing well, but does this mean the Chinese citizen is at high utility level? The answer is no. The fact is that most of the Chinese citizens today are facing the problem of unbalanced income and prices, which means the living costs are too high while the salary rate is relatively low. Besides, China is developing rapidly these years, Chinese people are demanding a better life which they want to eat better food, have a better education, and live in a better house. Therefore, people in China today are confronting the problem.
To build an infrastructure and promoting industrialization there are factors which are bound to be followed and they include; as much as there is advancement in the manufacturing and employment, there is need to invest and develop infrastructure of the third world countries who are still in the process of developing. This will ensure that the gross domestic product of the country (third world countries) will double by 2030.
Chinas economic growth rate was at around 10.4% in 2010 but since the GFC, China has been achieving about 7.7%(world bank, 2014) which is stronger than the 1980 rate of about 5.6% allowing it to have a GDP of $8.3trillion in 2012(World Bank,2014). The growth has allowed reforms and policies to be put in place to increase economic development. Since 1980, the life expectancy has increased by 10 years to 73.5 years impacting on china’s HDI levels increasing from .407 to .719(countryeconomy.com). The increase in GDP per capita from $250 in 1980 to $6800(World Bank, 2013) have been reflective of this. The average growth rate
