    When you have a numpty as president as we have had in Uruguay you get stupid policies which impact negatively on one another.

    No railways, disowned his own plans to put heavy freight on rails, we now have a massive problem with existing roads breaking up due to the double whammy of really big trucks being allowed and road construction that takes very little recogniton of the need to build roads that will carry the present traffic never mind the new traffic.

    “Stupid is as stupid does” seems to be the Broad Fraud's policy, they just don't put it on their election literature.

    It reminds me of when I built a great train set with my kids: worked lovely and they were proud of their achievements.

    Then I went away for just over a week and when I came back they had had some “friends” around who basically all but wrecked it.

    Similar with the argies: if you gave them a brand new Ferrari they would treat it like a Corsa built in TDC, and believe me, there is NOTHING courser than an argie Corsa. They have even given up using them as hire cars in MVD, BUT they have gotten Chinese crap now, but at least it’s cheap crap and not really that much worse.
