Musk is in that building right now, bribing local voters with money to cast their vote for Wisconsin Republican Supreme Court Justice candidate Brad Schimel. If Schimel wins the election on Tuesday, Republicans will have majority in the state court. VOTE SUSAN CRAWFORD APRIL 1ST IF YOU ARE A WISCONSIN RESIDENT!

Can you only protest on the sidewalks? What's the point if you're not allowed to slightly inconvenience drivers so they can feel personally victimised and condemn your protest for making them take a different road?
Also, wtf is up with that road?
The midwest road maintenance technique, just repeatedly fill potholes instead of resurfacing
In the US in states where they experience cold enough winter temperatures that the ground freezes for months of the year the asphalt (or tarmac) used on the roads is softer than in warmer states. This is so that when the ground shifts due to the freeze the road surface can flex and move, however sometimes the road surface cracks and fractures. When that happens they’ll use a flexible joining/sealing compound to fill the cracks to keep them from eroding further and wearing away while still allowing the road to continue to shift back and forth during the freeze and thaw.
Frost lines are a common consideration in building codes and in the northern Midwestern US the frost line can be several feet deep.
Legally, you need a permit to march on the roads. Past protests have marched on the roads, though. One 50501 protest even got carried away and tried to march on the highway, but then they were stopped by older protesters. My protests get carried away and we wander into the roads. Peacekeepers have to direct us back to the sidewalks.
I will say that my state’s 50501 protest always manages to clog up the road even though we don’t intentionally block it.
Most of the drivers are on our side. They will slow down to wave to us or take a video. People going back and forth keeps slowing down traffic. Cars will keep going back in the car line to honk again.
Would it be better to clog up the road completely? I don’t know. All I know is that it seems to be on purpose that people stay on the sidewalks.
I think we need to send a few gilets jaunes to the US for some training...
Cold weather expansion joints. That's why they're all straight lines, done on purpose so the road can flex.
