A section of Detroit’s Jefferson Ave runs right alongside Lake St Clair, in the uberwealthy Grosse Pointe suburbs. Back in the 70s-80s, an unresolved and long dragged out dispute over whether county or state funds would be used to repair Jefferson’s plethora of potholes led to the further proliferation of potholes. A group of rich local ladies purchased some asphalt and road cones. They went out on Jefferson in their gardening clothes, with trowels and buckets, and began filling potholes. It made headlines. Somebody immediately came thru with funding, and Jeff was V quickly and thoroughly repaired.

Mod note: having an issue with a position or an opinion is absolutely fine. When that expands to your opinion about a person, their tone, or their perspective, that is a slight against the person.
You want to take issue with the prevalence of an opinion or way of thinking? Fine, do that. You want to tell someone else how they are thinking or what their perspective is? Nope.
Thanks.
