Memory tells us we typed something about ASCE's infrastructure report card recently but, memory being what it is, cursory searching didn't find it because we're so clever we don't use any of the obvious search words;fuck it, here's an infrastructure story from a few yrs. back that links to a not-as-recent report card yet remains completely relevant today. Our national grade hasn't improved much, has it?
How many must die (& probably all at the same time, too) before someone in our government does something? Is close to 3,000 dead at once the lower limit for outrage?
Recent events would indicate that it really doesn't matter how many people die, but rather what it important in these cases is how many wealthy, suit-wearing pricks are inconvenienced. Once that number reaches a certain threshold, well, you can count on quick bipartisan action in Congress...
