One thing about France is that it's infrastructure is state of the art and with only minor repair would last for generations to come.
Compared to our infrastructure, I am extremely embarrassed.
I have recently been to both Manhattan and San Francisco. Our subways and trains are so old it made me remember black and white movies.
What is the number? Something like 70% and a hundred thousand of our bridges do not pass safety inspection?
Our Nation is crumbling and no one wants to fix it.
Our infrastructure will not last for generations, not even with major repair.
Our great grandparents and grandparents gave us the world... and we chose to piss on it.
I agree. If we weren't pissing away so much money on things like welfare and corporate tax breaks, public infrastructure would be an easy fix.
