Infrastructure Report by State

[Jack]

How did you justify moving from three dimensions to moving to two dimensions

'Time Warp'.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Did you know that Prisons are called 'Gated Communities'?

Hmm. By Jove, you're right!

 

[Hawkeye10]

If they wont even be honest with their name.....

Remember that the only reason the $1 trillion infrastructure deal has not been passed is because the Revolution is holding it hostage in order to get their multi trillion dollar socialism advancement program passed.

I was in Second Grade ... so not really a choice.

Sounds like an excuse. LOL

How bad is your state’s infrastructure?

Looking at this report, every Congress critter should be on board for passing the infrastructure bill.

That's what makes no sense. Red state voters should be protesting in the streets.

So ... why would you doubt BullshitBob lives in a Gated Community?

It’s not like it’s all roses for blue states either. All the ratings that I looked at suck, which you can maybe take with a grain of salt since people who stand to benefit from this are making the ratings.

Every infrastructure bill and spending bill that comes along pretty much says screw the rural poor so it’s hard for me to get behind something that I know is not going to benefit and potentially hurt the people in my community. And I realize that most of my grievances are with my local and state governments when it comes to infrastructure and development. Props to the screen name and sig btw

about 20% of the population is rural and that percent will decline. 1% are farmers.

A vested interest low balls the figures. I'd raise every grade on that study by one letter and that's probably closer to the truth.

The 'infrastructure' bill is not about infrastructure.

Wasn't NASA a 'State Owned Enterprise'?

Yes. They didn't built a single spacecraft either. Private companies did that.

Public Schools: State owned, Paid by the State, Free to everyone. Is that socialism?

Yes. These same schools are also notorious for putting out graduates that are illiterate.

How about Hoover Dam?

Built by a private consortium. All of the equipment in the powerhouses were also built by private companies.
Today, the dam is operated by the Bureau of Reclamation, part of the Dept of Interior (same folks that created the National Park system).

People who buy the water or electrical power from this operation do so voluntarily. Capitalism.

Hello Cypress,



And the problem with socialism is, let me guess, all the scary things the right says about it?

Yes.

 

[Into the Night]

Well, our railroads are good, anyways...

No. They cost much more than they need to to move material. Passenger service is horrible. It's almost non-existent across much the country now.

The Tennessee Valley Authority brought electricity to the rubes

TVA a federally-owned electric utility corporation in the United States. TVA's service area covers all of Tennessee, portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Kentucky, and small areas of Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Not quite.

Every bit of those wires, switches, transformers, fuses, circuit breakers, towers, poles, etc. are built by private companies.

 

[Into the Night]

The trains running on time?

They don't.

 

[Into the Night]

you are ignoring the BPA

Like the TVA, every bit of the equipment used by the BPA is built by private companies. Ever wire, every switch, every fuse, every transformer, every tower, every pole, etc.

People buy power voluntarily from both organizations. Capitalism.

 

[Into the Night]

Mussolini got the trains to run on time by vastly reducing the service


Think about that

So...he got the trains to run 'on time' by not running them at all!

 

[Into the Night]

"Why was the Bonneville Power Administration created?
​Congress created BPA in 1937 to deliver and sell the power from Bonneville Dam. ... During that time, Congress authorized BPA to sell and deliver power from more federal dams on the Columbia and its tributaries."

OK. Thanks.

...and people buy that power voluntarily. Capitalism.

why are you always needing to be a moron? This has been explained, all you had to do is come down from your opioid stupor.

Yes. It has been explained. The Oligarchy is broke. Ole' Joe will have to print dollars to pay for the 'infrastructure' bill which isn't even about infrastructure. Printing dollars with no corresponding increase in wealth being created causes inflation.
