Cool and what has been done lately? Infrastructure seems to just be crumbling cause nobody wants to pay to fix anything.

Infrastructure is crumbling because highways and roads are fucking expensive to maintain and suburban sprawl doesn't bring in the tax revenue to fund it.

Look up the growth ponzi scheme by Strong Towns. North Americans were duped and scammed into an untenable situation and we're going to spend the next half century reversing all the damage done.

Nobody does maintenance in authoritarian regimes, either. It's not a priority under any governance system
