    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

    Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

    I'd wager it's not the same "anarchists" that are vandalizing everything.

    But it's illegal..

    PBOT’s Dylan Rivera acknowledges the huge pothole problem the city has faced this winter, but still says it isn’t safe for citizens to fix them up on their own.


    “You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,” Rivera said. “It could result in a fix that’s unsafe for the public and bring liability to you, personally, if someone were to get hurt.”

    It's dangerous to fill the pothole because it could be unsafe. - Transportation Bureaucrat

    PBOT’s Dylan Rivera acknowledges the huge pothole problem the city has faced this winter, but still says it isn’t safe for citizens to fix them up on their own.

    “You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,” Rivera said. “It could result in a fix that’s unsafe for the public and bring liability to you, personally, if someone were to get hurt.”

    Instead, PBOT is urging the city to be patient.

    “We’re attacking potholes, we’re more than quadrupling the number of staff we have working on pothole repair,” Rivera said. “It’s been a struggle… with the wet weather. This is one of the worst years we’ve had for potholes, without a doubt.”

    PBOT is also looking at ways to prevent potholes in the future.

    Yeah, you guys like how if you fix it and someone gets hurt you're legally liable... but if THEY fix it and someone gets hurt, they're NOT legally liable?

    Who has the greater incentive to fix it properly?
    There are no crimes against people.
    There are only crimes against the state.
    And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.

    Blasphemous.

    Only those Ordained by Government may fill a hole up.

    Just imagine if someone did a poor job and the pot hole remained the same as it was.

    Though I like the idea folks on FB were also advocating Wanksy do his artistic thing to get the city motivated. I would approve.

    “You shouldn’t try to fix a pothole on a city-maintained street, it’s unsafe for you,”
    Something very bad could happen to you, indeed.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Typical anarchist publicity stunt.

    I would also note, that anarchists fixing roads, is such a rare event, it's apparently worthy of its own thread.

    Wow, anarchists use cones? Smacks of OSHA to me.

    Regardless, I APPROVE OF THIS MESSAGE.

    My thoughts exactly. I can't begin to fathom the array of licenses and permits they failed to acquire. I wonder how many of them are open-carrying while working (surprisingly legal in OR)?

    Anarchists, by definition, have no idea how to fix roads. They probably just made it worse.

    The government's just gonna have to dig up the hole and fill it up again, to make it right.
