it's a lot simpler than that. the fact that they're technological
ignoramuses is irrelevant.

the only relevant factor is that there are huge corporations wanting to
build roads so that they can make enormous amounts of money from the
government initially and then from the public from tolls...tolls on
roads that we, the people, paid for but they, the corporations, own.

look at every thing this government has done or plans to do, every
decision they make and it's starkly obvious - what big business wants,
big business gets.
