Our infrastructure is woefully out of date and remains so because it's very expensive to fix. Let's fix it.
Fill pot holes, add and improve drainage canals, build damns and levees, etc.
- sneak 3y agoOk, who gets priority? Whose bridges get fixed first? Population centers? Rural places without a lot of traffic? Which states? What about the environmental considerations for the dams? Who gets the power generated? This is what I mean by a "municipal handout" - this is a firehose of value, and the people you point it at will be enriched. The allocation of that value is not trivial, as everyone who holds USD is paying for the labor via inflation of the money supply.
- RhodesianHunter 3y agoIt sounds like you just described a whole other set of jobs this will find, ie the managerial and beurocrat class that will oversee it.
- idiotsecant 3y agoThere are already plenty of lists of dangerously unmaintained bridges and roads that lack the funding required to keep them safely operational. Start there. Trust me, finding infrastructure to work on in the US is not a problem.
