    The asphalt pavement of roads must be 4 inches thick to last forever. 3 inches lasts 5 years, 2 inches lasts one year, 1 inch is crumbling before you finish. You constantly see crumbling roads in the third world because of corruption, they don’t put as much pavement down as they charge for.

        An asphalt fact, rather. Asphalt facts have lower modulus, so they are more adaptable to the point of the conversation.
