American infrastructure!

[_NOBODY_]

It is horrible in many places in America - and it isn’t horrible in many places. The past 20 years has had a massive cultural divide growing which had removed focus from more key issues and that polarization will only make things worse.

The problem is compounded due to ridiculous laws that amplify cost of materials. As an example - one 500m stretch of road in supposedly red “get it done” texas took $1.2 million to renovate - that is ridiculous by any standard unless you see the massive inefficiency and systemic rot settling in because every other law has to be satisfied. The problem with that is that taxes aren’t enough to cover all those ridiculous laws like they are in Europe and even they are killing their businesses and infrastructure slowly in places due to red tape.

Big government doesn’t always fix everything - and more importantly - the more “accommodating” you are to every other tom,dick(who isn’t one in any manner) and hari singh.. the more delays you will have in getting anything done.

In a way, corporate America quietly has set up through both left and right side lobbies for the whole concept of government by the people for the people to fail.

California has kids being given drag shows while Ohio and Iowa make sure raped women carry any pregnancy to term… America may actually need another civil war to get one system aligned again.

The polarization only seems to be getting worse as time goes on.

It always seems that way, but the built-in corrective mechanisms always kick in. People were saying the same things during the late 60s, and then the 70s, even after 9/11, and the subsequent wars. USA is like a pendulum, It goes only so far to the right or the left before it returns to the median.

So far I don't see any driving force that can or is willing to lead both sides closer to the centre.

It's okay. Just watch the circus coming to town leading up to the Presidential nominations. It will be quite entertaining. And it will all work out. Again.

We can't be certain about it working out but let's patiently observe what will actually happen.

I bet this is your reaction after reading the sentence above :
