STLtoday – Hwy. 40 shutdown prompts new law

“…residents said traffic related to the Highway 40 shutdown had become a burden. A previous ordinance forbids through traffic, but no law had addressed turning around.”

Oh boo fucking hoo, rich people. So the state shuts down a major highway, nothing is accessible, traffic is terrible, regular people want to shop at your grocery store (which is convenient now, despite being filled with jackass old rich people like you) so you throw up barriers to prevent them accessing it, and NOW you get the local politicians (which your bank accounts allow you to keep conveniently in your pocket) to enact a law forbidding people, who couldn’t get into the parking lot due to the barriers, from turning around on your precious (taxpayer-funded) concrete slabs. Of course there was ALREADY a law that we weren’t allowed to drive through your neighborhood. Now we can’t even use the edge of your street to turn around in. Well fuck you.

Oh, traffic has increased in your neighborhood since the Hwy 40 shutdown? Well no shit. Traffic has increased EVERYWHERE since the shutdown. Maybe you should have paid a bit more attention to what was happening around you last year when this was all being debated, rather than just assuming that since your carpool had a straight shot from your house to Country Day, this wasn’t going to be your problem. I live in the city, and no one is protecting ME from illegal turnarounds, or excessive traffic, or the clientele of the hookers in the apartment complex behind me who favor driving around at night with their lights off, so as to go cleverly undetected. Wait… was that your husband? Anyway, fucking suck it up, for fuck’s sake. Enacted a new law, my ass.

Damn. Whiny rich people work my freaking nerves.
