Soup

Hot hot soup

fuck if it’s this easy why do they close the goddamn road for like five months shit

all outta soub :(

I work for the road crew in the summer. Crack sealing (the process you see above) is fairly quick and simple. (Though holding a hose that pumps literal tons of 350F tar into the road in the middle of the summer is NOT easy)

I think what a lot of people underestimate is just how much road there is in your city. And just how many directions the crew gets pulled.

For our city of around 50k people there are 8 of us.

Also, crack sealing is a wholly temporary measure, meant to slow the break-up of the roads, it’s not a permanent fix.

Roads tend to get closed for months on end because we have to tear the whole thing up, then, depending on the class of road, we either have to hammer-drill into concrete to lay rebar and the pour concrete, or we can get straight to paving. If it’s a road requiring concrete we’re required to wait at least 24 hours for it to set.

So after 2 days we’re finally able to pave. But the city allocates one (two if we’re lucky) 5 ton truck to transport material.

A relatively short paving job requires at a minimum of 60 tons. So that’s 12 trips to the asphalt factory and back. Each ton is around $80.

TL;DR

There’s a lot of road, not many of us, and soup is expensive.

Leave the soup men alone.

Leave the soup men alone, and go vote for people who will pay for more soup and more soup people

man i don’t wanna derail a post but i just saw a post that was showing different megafauna of different areas, like moose in colder climates like canada and russia, camels in the middle east area/deserts, kangaroos in australia. and someone commented “all we have in america is squirrels!!! 🤣”

but like. bison. bison were america’s megafauna. i don’t want people forgetting about bison and what happened to them.

I don’t know how to tell you this - but Moose are native to upper Midwestern states like MN, WI and MI as well as mountainous areas as far south as CO. Also Alaska.

this post was about american colonizers trying to kill off bison to starve native americans of one of their primary food sources.

Map of the historical range change of bison

I couldn’t find a map of total populations today, but there’s around 500,000 today - compare that to the millions before the colonization of the western US.

Just a reminder that it was once considered “fun sport” to shoot bison from passing trains, leaving the corpses to rot in the sun.  And don’t forget this lovely photo–those are bison skulls.  Imagine how many animals were slaughtered to make a pile this big.

This wasn’t for sport.  This wasn’t for meat.  This was for genocide.

Just to follow up, and to make this abundantly clear - the mass slaughter of the bison was to cause genocide of Native Americans. It was a deliberate destruction of their most valuable food source. 

Bison and prairie dogs are both essential having prairie grasslands AT ALL. Prairie dog burrows help precipitation to penetrate the water table and the numbers of buffalo moving across the earth mowing grasses, pooping the seeds, peeing, birthing, and making wallows shaped the entire face of the plains.

Indigenous people know this.
