Potholes has been an issue for a long time and the state had not done anything to this problem yet. This is a problem for the Metro Detroit area. People are complaining about their cars being broken or their tires being popped because of the potholes.

Also because certain roads cannot be used there is more traffic. The Texas Transportation Institute estimates that American commuters in urban areas collectively lost 5.5 billion hours stuck in traffic in 2011, meaning the average commuter lost nearly a week to traffic. their calculations further suggest that traffic congestion caused American commuters to purchase an extra 2.9 billion gallons of fuel, costing them more than $120 billion in added fuel costs and wasted time.

I feel that Shullsburg should fix their roads because it would help renew our community, while making it safer for our citizens. Renovating our roads would make the community more presentable. I have been through many towns and they have many great structures, but the roads make the town seem unsanitary and filthy. When the streets are not filled with potholes and cracks, the town looks immaculate. Roads do not

We, the Houstonians, need our roadways vastly improved as it’s beyond a necessity. As of right now, they’re only a ticking time bomb that could change Houston’s economy in just a few days. If such things as road maintenance, safety laws and measures to reduce congestion aren’t put in place, then our future is
The state of Michigan is in a serious crisis! The governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, seems to not care about the poor people of the state of Michigan.

The water pipes in Flint, Michigan are filled with lead and citizens in Flint who drink, bathe, and cook with the municipal water have incurred lead poisoning.
I’m very passionate about this topic because on my way home everyday the roads are very bad. Last year balfours parking lot was so bad that I couldn’t even drive 10 kilometres/hour without my car bouncing, it ruined my cars suspension and I had to pay thirteen hundred dollars to get it fixed. There have been times when there would would be a huge pothole and they don’t put a pylon on or near it, next thing you know you bottom out your car. They are wasting all their money on the new stadium, their budget is no good. Regina roads have been super bad for so long.
You might have heard recently that the United States Trust Fund is currently experiencing a solvency issue due to an increased cost associated with financing road projects. The members of the United States Congress, as well as numerous other influential leaders, have been discussing means of addressing this “broken” Highway Trust Fund. This issue has been consistently thrown on the back burner for some time and due to this procrastination an issue that would have been an easy fix a few years ago has now ballooned into a much larger issue. Lately it seems like every time I turn on the news I have seen news reports of bridges collapsing and pot holes getting worse, it scary to think that I will one day have children driving on these roads if
With roads in such substandard conditions and with no signs of repairs coming in the near future, Baton Rouge drivers have to be careful on the roads. One cannot always take the freeway to get to places and there might be heavy traffic if everyone tries to use it. Along with the fact that sometime a route cannot be planned around a terrible road as it is the only way to the destination. With these factors in mind, one must be prepared to drive for the safety of oneself and others. Whenever coming to a pothole or any other danger that may come with an inadequate road, it is important to drive slowly and cautiously. This is most important due to the fact that driving carefully on even the safest of roads in order to avoid a vehicular
When an individual has lived in and around an area such as New Orleans, La, the majority of their lives, it is hard to imagine an area with roads that are just as bad as, if not worse, as those in the city of New Orleans. With countless potholes, crumbling pavement and sink holes popping up here and there, there is no way the streets could be that bad anywhere else. That is the mentality that one has until the venture out to other cities such as Toledo. According to an article published in the Toledo Blade on June 19,2015 by Tom Troy, Toledo’s roads are the second worst in the state of Ohio. With the poor road conditions and constant road constructions, comes a number of problems for the city’s residents. People are forced to spend countless
How many times have you got on a road and have been jammed for hours? This problem is happening all around Australia. It is a serious, serious problem and leads to other major consequences. Car accident is the one that comes in mind first. Research shows that nearly 3 million people on roads of Australia have been involved in a car accident every year.

For the better for you, for the better for your family, for the better for Australia, I should be the next Prime
Making Pecos a better town will be difficult, but it is possible. Too many communities are held from the potential of what they could be by not doing the little things. From cleaning up, making smart decisions, and being a great citizen, we can make the world a better place. Potholes and old water pipes are some of the few problems that I would love to gladly participate in solving. A pothole is a bowl-shaped depression in the pavement and surface of roads. Potholes are one of the most commonly performed highway maintenance operations. Potholes are affected by bad weather, heavy trucks, and failure to keep up with the repair of roads. Potholes damage vehicles and have a heavy weight on our wallets. Potholes cause flat tires, wheel alignment damage, impact and damage of the lower part of the vehicle, and major accidents. Weather damages potholes even more than they already are. Cracks allow water to get into the roadway base resulting in pavement breakup and potholes. You cannot detect damage only on the surface of the pavement because once the damage has reached the surface it is already too late to address the problem. Going to the root of the problem rather than just the top layer can make a big difference on our roads. There are many ways to take steps in improving my community but these are one of the major problems. These are very common problems that happen in every community, but they are getting out of hand and need to be solved as soon as possible.

and articulating the operation of that form of power. That is, the bully represents themselves as the embodiment of which bares the responsibility to reinforce dominance. This action in itself is achieved through the disembodiment of the targeted aspects (as object,) from victim’s oriented positioning (as subject). As the bully exercises themselves in a privileged position as a means of empowering stature, the victim then is a targeted threat in consolidating the bully 's sovereignty. If the victim is not repressed, the bully’s authenticity in relation to in/direct oppressive behaviour counterfeits their own sense of belonging within group mentality.
Throughout the gothic history, the vagueness between the “outside” and “inside” has existed permanently, which is considered as one of the main features of gothic novels. According to this, the development of the differentiation between “outside” and “inside” has encountered two periods, using vampire gothic novels as examples. Firstly, using the novel “Dracula”, Count Dracula is defined as the “outside”, which still mirrors some human tendency and instinct. Secondly, using “Interview with the vampire”, the introspective vampire like Louis is considered as the “inside”, which symbolizes modern consciousness however lacking in the “outside”. Ultimately the outside can be transformed to the deeper
