Huh? Is all our plumbing, roads, bridges, etc. going to disappear?
“Is all our plumbing, roads, bridges, etc. going to disappear?”
This guy might be the kind of nut who also predicted the rapture in 1988. That said, it wouldn’t take very long, with no money or desire to maintain them, for our infrastructure to fall to third world levels.
Limit power to generate electricity and your plumbing won’t work. Tax fuel so it stays high and transport will diminish, even with reasonable roads, and the cost of everything will become unaffordable. Hire the unskilled because they belong to the protected classes and infrastructure repair will suffer. Limit non-metallic mining and push the cost of asphalt higher with direct and indirect (carbon tax) taxation and the roads will be unsafe or will not be cost-effective to repair. Import low quality steel and low quality pumps, pipes, rebar, etc and nothing will be built and what is built will not function as it should.
I have no fancy track record, but these are exactly the future scenarios that have worried me.
My nearest little town is going ahead with a $60k engineering project so tht when grant money for roads happens, they ae ahead of the game. No one will listen to anyone who says we should be cautious because we don’t know if the money will materialize or if we will be eligible.

It can. Those infrastructures require a massive amount of repair and replacement. Under Democrats they are rarely funded. Under Obama there won’t be any money for those things not going directly into someone’s pocket where they can see the spending. He and his fellow Marxist will buy votes and infrastructure spending doesn’t result in that.
