I wasn't thinking about young people... they're not the only generation on the planet, and not the one who've been making the bad calls re: infrastructure eithe

  I apologize, I read an implication in that wasn't warranted. I think what led me to that was the idea that older generations have already seen infrastructure crises, so only younger ones would be learning something new. But I guess that's not really the case, is it? Has there been a major infrastructure crisis in the last ~100 years?

    No need to apologize, it was a reasonable assumption. As you say though, I don't think living memory (at least not much) extends to that kind of crisis. Most living memory no longer recalls a lot of important lessons that we culturally believe we've learned "forever". We haven't. People never learn lessons forever.
