We are being governed by traitors.
Boil up the tar, I’ll get the feathers.
Our leaders are greedy, power hungry traitors! They should be tried as traitors and dealt with accordingly. Their arrogance is unbelievable!
Oh my God!
Corzine plans on doing the same with the New Jersey Parkway. Gee, can I get my money back that paid for it thus far?? I should get a profit from the sale right?? hah!
oh yeah, it’s a lease not a sale, no profit to be had for little me!
And just wait until these “leased” roads are patrolled by private mallcop-type security forces rather than state troopers. If the purpose of the road is to facilitate “commercial traffic” hauling Chinese goods from Mexican ports throughout North America, Lord only knows what the “mission statement” of the private-contractor substitute troopers will be, much less what country they’ll be from or corporation they’ll be employees of. Expect fair or accurate investigations of accidents and other problems?
But we can't take land from a bunch of wealthy corrupt humans, because the giants are too big. Then you won't. I don't listen to the media, the devil, public officials, or anybody else except the Word of God. And the best part is you don't have to do anything except trust Him.
Isaiah 57:13 When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
This is just ahead. Isaiah was a prophet speaking specifically about the days we are living in.
Isaiah 60
1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
11 Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
12 For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Not sure what the supposed point of this operation is... which strongly suggests the *apparent* point that it’s a cash grab.
What are the responsibilites of the buying companies? What are the metrics used to determine compliance? These roads are public assets in that their quality (and even their existence) benefits the general economy and livability of large areas. All of those people’s lives will be affected. If the buyers don’t have some serious accountability then this is a disaster.
Do Canadian ports offload as cheaply as Mexican ports?
They are the taxpayers’ roads. Ours. The pols have no right to sell them.
Because China controls both ends of the Panama Canal and Mexico is closer (and cheaper) to the canal.
Besides the obvious economic reasons, Mexico is also a wee bit more 'lax' when it comes to inspecting cargo containers.
Draw your own conclusions.
Yeah, “Fats Eddie” Rendell is also wanting to sell off the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Silly author. The Jetsons won't be using roads; just pathways in space.
Henry Lamb BUMP. He nails another one.
“Pardon me John, but why would the Chinese ship stuff to Mexico and then truck it to Canada?” Low cost of labor no union longshoremen.
Non-union port workers make for a cheaper unloading
