The war on failing US infrastructure.

  Has Congress authorised that war?

    It's been signed into law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Investment_and_Jobs_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Investment_and_...

      So what is you point then if Biden signed it and where does it say its a war on that page?
      - defrost 2y ago
        Failing US infrastructure has been singled out as a major pressing issue by US Engineers (professional societies, etc) for at least 15 years that I'm aware of. It's been cited before 2016 as a trillion dollar problem. The point is that this something that one POTUS chose to talk about and frequently hyped "Infrastructure Week" and also something that another POTUS chose to do something about. ^F informs us there are 33 instances of "war" on that page, most in "award", "forward", etc. Two as the actual word "war".

        Of course it's a good thing, why on earth would you imagine it not to be? > You were the one who could not find it not me and then you got confused with award and forward Please don't be silly. I found all instances of the character sequence "war". Most instances were within full words, two instances were the actual word war. Then you asked me to help you to search within the text. Most people on HN are capable of finding such things themselves. Why you struggle with this is a mystery. You very much look to be the one confused.
