Would this also extend to the $1.5T (or whatever) spending bill that they're pushing?

- atonse 5y agoWould what extend, my cynicism? I am quite dejected at the United States' ability to do anything that's both difficult and unsexy, at this point. Anything related to boring infrastructure (replacing lead water pipes, bridges, leaking subway systems, etc) just seems untenable. There are escalators in the DC Metro Area that are out of service for months and years while they get replaced. I can't even begin to understand what would cause a 1 year long escalator replacement in this age of unlimited power tools and incredible amounts of supply chain efficiency, when it probably took 2-3 years to build the whole metro station to begin with, in the 70s (including the escalator)
