Once upon a time society planned for and built infrastructure to provide for their children and grandchildren.
The last 40 years, when the "me" generation took over, everything changed. Every possible good idea was perverted by the "copernican" types. They are all the center of the universe, and if stuff isn't there when they die, what do they care?

Think water supply, energy management, highway system, railroads (transportation), local roads, parks; the list goes on and on...

Economy of scale?

WTF is that?

I like Ike! What was built up by the toil of ten generations is being squandered by the eleventh. I'm a later member of the baby boom generation (born in 1958) and I am absolutely disgusted with what is happening.
