Hi, Tolerance Sucks Rocks,

Roads, bridges, and railroads. These are so overdue repair.

A big wall, or everything else will be for naught.

Substitute “high speed rail” with “Lunar space station at a Lagrange point that can lift materials cheaply off the moon”.

“Think of how Americans of a half-century ago “ ... OMG!-that’s me LOL!
My Dad was transferred from NN to San Diego and we travelled there by car before the Interstate. An unforgettanle trip! Really saw the country upclose.

...The Erie Canal won the Civil War- before it started.

Mark my words: the Flying Car will be the linchpin of the next transportation revolution.

Atmospheric pressure Th-232 based large neighborhood (100-500 kW) electric generating stations, with molten salt as the primary heat exchange medium. Probably 1950’s technology whose time has been a long time coming.

Trains. We need more trains. Nobody wants to fly. Flying is so outmoded.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

The future ain't what it used to be!

“We need someone with a vision like Eisenhower had for the interstate system...”

Think about where we would be today if the EPA had been around prior to interstate highways. Environmental impact studies would have eaten up more funding than the road itself and still be ongoing.

[9YearLurker]

Corrupt boondoggles.

We’ve spent trillions the last fifteen years on infrastructure. Unfortunately the money was spent on targets for the muzzies and US armed forces to blow up in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Just replacement of crumbling water and sewer systems would be a great start to boosting American society. Public health is paramount if society is to thrive.

[DoodleDawg]

We can’t keep our existing infrastructure in shape.

[Little Ray]

We need to start with hardening the power grid.
At the very least, we need to be able to repair it after another Carrington Event. We also need to secure it against cyber warfare - if possible take it completely off the Internet.

Infrastructure is important but risky.

Disruptive technology, economic, and political changes can obliterate infrastructure investments that were designed and built to last a century.

“We need someone with a vision like Eisenhower had for the interstate system, someone who also has the will and the leadership to be savvy enough to push people to spend the capital required for a major infrastructure project,” said Henry Petroski, author of “The Road Taken: The History and Future of America’s Infrastructure” and a professor of civil engineering and history at Duke University. “It takes someone passionate and dedicated to implement the technology that exists and other innovations on the horizon”

...he said, and probably voted against Trump, the builder.
