And the whining when motorists actually have to pay for some of the roads they use is unreal: https://youtube.com/watch?v=I02i-ddf4Ro

The government should just call them freedom roads and say letting people use it for free would be socialism

I've known libertarians who were in favor of privatizing the infrastructure. They may get their wish.

Reminds me of an article I read today: On german Autobahn there are cool signs here and there about the region e.g. beautiful landmarks. These signs used to cost 3000-4000€, but since Andreas Scheuer (think about him like a bitch for corporations) privatized the facility responsible for them, the cost has risen to 70000€ per sign and know it seems like they are getting abandoned.
