The article writer blames climate change (of course) but it's shocking to read how America's infrastructure is failing (not that the upkeep of ours is that fantastic either)

Tax money used to fund infrastructure.
Tax money now funds invaders, surveillance and graft.

I know of several small bridges around me in north Georgia that are dated 1914-1917. Single lane, too.

We're too busy blowing "money" on everyone and everything else instead of fixing our own problems.

You should hear about the 100-120 year old watermains that are failing.

No worries. There will be a giant omnibus budget passed for $50T that will fund these projects for the next 20 years.

Well yeah when you import thousands and thousands of Invaders whose sole purpose is to hijack boats and crash them into Bridge pylons naturally there's going to be some entropy.
