When people ask, ‘who will build the roads?’ my usual
response is, ‘the same people that currently build them, it’ll just be financed
differently.’ Then I go on to give a few
quick ideas. ‘Tolls are an obvious choice but so are trade associations that
want you to visit malls and stores.
Perhaps non-profit organizations pop up to facilitate the easier
movement of people and build the roads?
Maybe we will all start riding on drones or using other technology.
Maybe unions or employee associations charge fees or payroll deductions from your
paycheck in order to maintain the roads needed to access your job? Point is, I don’t know the solution, I do
know a solution exists and would become a reality. What won't happen is the government stops funding the roads and then the world descends
into chaos, no business gets done and people live solitary lives and never
leave their home other than maybe walking to a neighbors. This, I am confident, would not happen.
