Avoiding such vehicles could have saved us the need to build countless flyovers and underpasses; while also significantly reducing pollution. If we had curbed the use of oversized vehicles in other cities; we wouldn’t have to close schools and colleges now. It’s ironic because our country’s founder urged us to work, work, and only work; yet we interpreted it to mean rest, rest, and only rest. In this “lively” nation, sometimes it feels like no one works. We have two-day weekends, yet we are far behind in research, and our schools, colleges, and universities remain closed on every occasion.
