It still comes down to money. Because if they threw more money at road repair, they'd have more employees and more time to fix the pot holes instead of letting them get that bad to fuck up a car at normal highway speeds.

Yeah, lots of money. This is just one fucked up death in millions around the world. There are lots of things we could throw money at and prevent a few deaths a year.

Yup and it's definitely tough to decide how much is too much.. Because lives are worth differently to every single person in the world.

Or they could have been a contractor that repaired it the quick and dirty way, rather than finding the reason for the failure of that section, because it means they get to fix it again in a year or so.

And then 20 more highway workers a year would die from DUI drivers.

You know what else is dangerous? Motorcycles... they should just ban all motorcycles... that's cheap and it would save many, many lives.
