They can fix many lightly degraded roads with this method, at the same price as rebuilding severely degraded ones. If a road is too bad to repave, they might also wait until it's completely destroyed before rebuilding. (8)

That's the problem... officials make decisions based on budgets before they get voted out. Our government system tends to produce this type of thinking, rather than intergenerational projects and long-term thinking.

Original title:Summer jobs for students
Post summary:It turns out that students attending universities outside Thunder Bay are finding it hard to get summer temporary jobs. I've been to many such job interviews, only to run into questions like: 'We won't hire you unless you can work part-time after the summer.' Last summer was the same, when I was fooled by a business that promised full-time work, which led me to do three part-time jobs (lesson learned). Any advice or places I can apply? My goal is to work as much as possible

It’s been proving very difficult to find a summer temporary job as a student attending university outside of Thunder Bay.

- Strangely, I know where the bad sections are, where to bias towards the left edge of the lane, where to avoid the outside lane, and to leave space in front so I can visually plot a path around the biggest ones. I have a heavy vehicle, but I don't want extra hits on my ball joints or tire rubber chipping from severe holes. Then I watch small cars ahead drive straight over them like they don't exist. I don't know, SMH I guess. There are (6)
