Is our infrastructure in decay?

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

That's the current hue and cry, but is it true?

Brownouts...

Falling bridges...

Potholes, construction...

Most of us feel we pay plenty in taxes, so...

um always?

Time will do that to everything.

sure so isn't some the greek buildings, but we both know they need work.

This is just the latest thing the media and government outrage people are latching onto. These type of things as very rare. I think for the most part bridges are very safe. Nothing is perfect and what happened to these people is just crap luck.

I think you will find the reason for the bridge collaspe is....Weight of traffic..the owners of the bridge probally knew that it needed some running repairs.......but as normal refuse to spend anything, until its too late....it was next on the list of things to do..we are really sorry, please except our condolency's

dude don't try to spin it into that lame crap. Stick to the bridge story.

 

[Cap’n AMatrixca]

Bokonon has no use for money, nothing to buy at San Litorenzo...

I'm going to ask MWF to rub feet with me...

It's all infrastructure, even the science...

Where it gets really interesting is when the price of gas gets high enough that people start really car pooling, buying very fuel efficient cars, and in other ways find the means to reduce their energy bills. Where's the infrastructure monies going to come from then?

Very interesting, indeed. A tortilla tax?
