The U.S. ships a shitload of stuff by barge - a lot more than people realize. I've never understood why Russia hasn't utilized the Interstate system through more of their country. Even decent two lane gravel roads would improve their economy. A lot of their roads are mud or dirt, and they become largely impassable twice a year for long periods. Yes, rail and highway construction would help that, but Russians and commies suck at large infrastructure engineering projects. Probably could have done it had they not pissed away so much money on SSTs, space program, Mig-25, supersonic bombers, etc. |
