Just when you think we as a society could not getting any more STUPID, something like this pops up. This pic is not photo shopped. it was taken on I-65 north bound just past the on ramp of Exit 112. In the Great Bluegrass State BTW. These two signs both read the exact same thing, "Speed Limit 70". They are also Fifteen Fucking Feet Apart!!!
Now I don't know what it cost to produce, install, and maintain a road sign, but even if it was free surely we don't need two of them fifteen feet apart. At best we have a roadside distraction with people traveling at speeds greater than 70, I mean let's not kid ourselves. I mean you see the one sign look down at your speedometer and say to yourself "I'm good" then as you get closer BAMM there's another. So you know it's gonna take your eyes off the road, try to turn your neck around, thinking to yourself WTF did that say??? Maybe look at your passenger, "Hey, did you see that"?
However, what it looks like to me is a bunch of unionized government workers trying to justify their jobs. Or they're to Fucking sorry to look at their boss and say, "WTF man, there is a sign right there". My experience is they probably said Fuck it, it's a union gig and we get paid to put up a sign.
People this is not a KY problem. This is a Federal Hwy with Federal Tax Dollars at work. So the next time you hear your politician say we need to raise the gas tax. Our roads and bridges and tunnels are falling apart. Or you local city and county crying about land taxes that the winter was so bad and we had to use to much salt. You just might want to give them a call. You just might want to tell them to spend the money they have a little bit more wisely. Just Sayin, I mean it's your cash!!!
