So my biggest takeaway from this video is: Governments make great roads, those left to private citizens to build and manage on their own are much shittier.

HAHAHAHAHA, technically they're both government roads. The nice one (toll road) is newer and you have to pay for it, similar to how most things would work in a free-market society, meaning, you pay for when you use something, rather than being taxed (stolen from) for things you may never use or even want ;)
The non-toll roads (I believe) are run by the cities they are in (not federal), and they don't give a F, because they don't have the money to fix them.
The toll roads are also safer, due to more police presence, because people are paying to use them, they don't want accidents, and people broken down on the side of the road. The police are incentivized to help the motorists as they are customers, rather than targets who could be fleeced for something like speeding.
I personally saw a few police cars behind cars that had car trouble, and not once did I see one person pulled over for some kind of infraction.
I suppose I could have done a better job of clearing that up in the video, but that really wasn't my goal to talk about muh roads.
But I am glad I could clear up this confusion for you, and elaborate more on why pay as you go is a better alternative and solution to give me your money at the threat of force to pay for things you may not need.
😂 Figured that would get a rise out of you!
