Contrast that to some other countries where the government comes up with minimum requirements, then asks for bids. One of the requirements is that the road comes with a 8 to 10 year warrantee - any fixes come out of the contractor's po

I know current senior engineers that see plenty of corruption and shady practice, including on road construction on a regular basis in Ontario, and yes, the Toronto area. Construction companies routinely don't build each layer of road

I wanted to add to this because I feel that I'm a beginner at being a stoic and putting value on being alone: - I make choices and I learn from mistakes. I'm trying to be better about not having regrets as in repeatedly reflecting
