Civil Engineers report “everything sucks give us hundreds of billions in funding so we can fix it”
Shiny, well-designed, and well-maintained infrastructure has an effect along the lines of the broken window idea, government keeping up infrastructure and backing off on the people to where they can start and run their businesses and farms, and keep the factories and mines and stores running would go a long way to fixing America’s social issues and quality of life issues, and the general pessimism of current day life.
I bet teacher quality would be F-. there are things that need to be replaced before the buildings.
We spent 350 million on illegals.
“Civil engineers give Colorado a C-minus grade on infrastructure report card, with roads and schools receiving low marks”
that’s because governments in colorado at every level have been reprogramming tax money into free-everything for illegal aliens ... our once beautiful streets, roads and highways are a shambles now due to lack of maintenance ...
I would like to see what Oklahoma rates. It is one giant speed bump from one state line to the next. One of the most perplexing things about Oklahoma roads is that they will build or re-build a section of road to new standards for maybe 5 or 10 miles but flank that section, placed at random it seems, with miles of obstacle course. There is no apparent logic or plan to it. The most glaring example of this is the area adjacent to the Kirkpatrick Turnpike south entrance. Other examples are right here where I live on I-40 or US59.
The schools should receive a good grade for foreign languages ... other than English.
C-? Grade inflation.
The “Democrat Disease”, commonly known as rot, is slowly consuming what was once a great state. The beauty is still there (as long as one avoids Denver), but the rot and accompanying stench is in our future. Perhaps we’ll manage to ditch fat boy governor, get a B2 to take care of Boulder and Aspen and we’ll be on the way to getting back to the 20th century.
