    Did you just invent a school zone to make an argument? What would the hypothetical civil engineers have to say after running countless hours of simulations on imagined children?

      We have no idea why the sign was the way it was. They gave us no background. So I’m biased against the sign changer until given a good argument as to why it was acceptable.

          Which government? Makes a big difference since some other better than others.

          I’m not saying OOP definitely had no legitimate reason to change the sign, but without knowing, we can’t assume they did either.

          The fact they made no mention of it, leads me to suspect it was mostly for their personal convenience.

          Also, government = inefficient is some neo-lib propaganda I can’t tolerate. Any organisation can be inefficient (so, so, so many examples of this in the private sector), and governments can and must be set up to be well-run. The alternative is the privatised neo-lib hellscape we (countries in general) continue to not fix.

            Uh… all I said was that I worked for the government. You’re just making up your own little world over there, aren’t you? This argument is moot since I can’t anticipate everything you’re gonna think up in imagination land. Kinda hard to argue against things no one said.
