What mothers need, as well as fathers, spouses, and the children of aging parents, is an entire national infrastructure of care, every bit as important as the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, tunnels, broadband, parks and public works.
I miss America because it’s where I grew up. I miss the size of the roads, the size of cars, the malls, the choices of radio.
In Japan, there are storm channels on either side of the main roads. There were so many times when I’d fall into these ditches because I was lost in stories as I was walking along. It’s still dangerous for me to drive. I’ve driven into the gate outside my house numerous times.
Roads, better harnesses for horses, time-keeping devices, financial instruments like a currency that was recognized everywhere in the kingdom, enforceable contracts – all of this made commerce more appealing than plunder.
Roads are essential to any type of agricultural development.
If we didn’t have a sustainable agriculture industry, who would be paying the then-missing taxes to support our defence, police, roads, airports, elderly, parks, public sporting facilities and much more?
I’ve given up my Ferrari – the idea of going through my village in a 488… You can’t drive them on English roads.
New roads carve up the countryside, dispelling peace, creating a penumbra of noise, pollution and ugliness. Their effects spread for many miles.
Anybody who wants to cut the gas tax is going to have to suggest to me how we get the money to repair our roads and bridges.
People who seek ransom out on the roads, who set up barricades, they are looking for work.
I absolutely hate cyclists. If they use the roads for free and they don’t have to pay any tax, they must obey the rules.
As a manager I always trusted my players on Christmas Day. I did not see any point in dragging them into the training ground – a three-hour round-trip for some of them on icy roads – when they could relax with their families instead.
I love it in the States. The roads are big, the food is big. If it was possible to be in L.A. and still live my racing life, I would move now.
The vast majority of immigrants – regardless of the conditions of war and poverty that may wrack their home countries – come and contribute to their new home country: building our roads, caring for our homes, children, and elders, and serving as doctors, lawyers, employers, and innovators.
I like to go out on my bike. That’s when I do my thinking. Two or three hours on the roads – that’s when you get time, and you can think without problems.
Our people need significant investments in bridges, tunnels and roads.
Our highways and our roads are underutilized because of the allowances we have to make for human drivers.
I grew up like a lot of country boys and girls do – amongst the pine trees, dirt roads, farms, mules and people who were real.
We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet. In my view we have nothing to show for it. We haven’t invested in our roads, our bridges, our waste-water systems, our sewer systems. We haven’t even maintained the assets that our parents and grandparents built for us.
