I will second a lot of the points you make at #63. A lot of this is to just be “doing something.”
I might add that I expect little out of the repair effort based upon what I am seeing now. A massive repair effort would involve hundreds of vehicles, equipment, trucks, cranes and the like. That is what you do when you excavate a giant hole, or place a mass foundation for a monster structure.
You have giant light towers (light plants), staging roads being graded, hundreds of trucks moving unsuitable material out and proper material in. This was my field of work and nothing like that appears to be underway because no one has been told to spend the money and make the effort.
