Then what are all those orange cones doing all over the highways with the people in orange vests driving those big machines around?

Seriously. No preventive maintenance? No work being done on our infrastructure?

Do you people even understand the ridiculous things you write?

There's construction and maintenance on bridges and highways all over the place every year. The city I live in completely replaced at least 3 old bridges over the rivers in the 7 years since I've been here, and added one brand new one, and completely redid the interstate junction with brand new bridges/exit ramps. The city I lived in before that also completely redid their interstate junction with brand new bridges/exit ramps in the 3 years I was there.

Is it enough? I don't know. But it is surely greater than ZERO.

did you watch the video? I mean yeah some areas are in good shape, but there's a reason the country's infrastructure is graded at D+ or D- or whatever. I mean, did you hear about the manhattan explosion recently where the gas pipe or whatever was 100 years old or whatever?
