I'm the last person you want to challenge on word usage.

Simple Definition of canard
    : a false report or story : a belief or rumor that is not true
"BUT ZOMG WHO WILL BUILD THE ROADS?" is neither a story nor is it false.
I see your problem is much more profound than simple lack of learningz Smiley

And you also believe Ayn Rand has something to do with child abuse?
See the boldface text above, which you have artfully redacted.
But sure, Rand's problems may be linked to child abuse, though that's irrelevant Smiley

Ayn Rand was abused as a child, by Bolshevik state terror in the Soviet Union.  That's why she came to the USA.  Duh.

Although popular among plebs such as yourself, the belief that only the State can build roads is false, and thus may be referred to as a canard.

Just one of the questions that trumps the "but who will build the roads?" canard.

I do give you credit though, at least you didn't throw out the other tired canard:  "but, but, who will build the roads?!"  LOL  what a dumbarse.

LOL what a dumbarse, indeed.   Wink

>Ayn Rand was abused as a child
So don't ask stupid [and irrelevant] questions like "And you also believe Ayn Rand has something to do with child abuse?"

>"bullshit popular among plebes like you"
Listen up, Dunning–Kruger victim:
The reason I don't bring up that Ayn Rand fans are NEET failures & brokeass degenerates, still living in Mom's basements because "gubermint j00z gave muh jerb to niggers!!" is because, while such delusional thinking is dominant in the Rand fandom, *it has nothing to do with the topic at hand." It's a non-sequitur.
If someone asked you "who'll build teh roads," your bringing it up would be justified. Since no one did, it's not. That's why I advised you to "read before trotting out your hobby horse."
Are you, at least, beginning to understand?
