[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

One of the things author and preparedness expert Fernando Aguirre said happens in a dysfunctional country like Argentina is deteriorating infrastructure. Well, guess what's coming to America. LGB, FJB!

PING!

Infrastructure in dysfunctional countries tends to deteriorate. We may be witnessing the beginnings of that here.

And we Pennsylvanians put up with the second highest gas tax in the nation to fund those infrastructure projects.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

And you know what the answer to these inflation-caused limits is? More spending! Let’s spend our way out of inflation!!

[ConservativeInPA]

We can partly thank Commie Tommie and his butt buddy Levine for shutting down the state, picking winners and losers, destroying businesses and murdering thousands for the beginning of the entire inflation problem. Democrats caused this at the state level, and they spent us into inflation at the federal level.

Abuse a Democrat today.

Cheryl Moon-Sirianni, PennDOT’s district executive for Allegheny, Beaver and Lawrence counties, said last week that low bids for contracts have been coming in 10% to 20% higher than the department anticipated. Among the problems are the cost and availability of construction materials, rising fuel costs, and the availability of workers, especially for the overnight work the department prefers to reduce the impact of road projects on traffic.

Oh, poor baby! Try working for a company that needs to show a reasonable profit, ya government drone! What are your bidders supposed to do? Eat those inflationary costs?

Took 60 years to finish the PA Turnpike, finished it 82 years ago, still collecting tolls on it but NOW it’s different and PA’s road “maintenance” is going to suffer. Jeez, the BS never ends. What’s the excuse for the collapsed bridge in Pittsburgh? Did it know about the coming inflation? I’m so glad my grandparents got the hell out of that state.

I would happily spend more on infrastructure if I thought they would actually fix it, and if we can cut elsewhere.

A friend of mine was talking to one of his local officials about the dilapidated infrastructure, specifically roads that need to be repaired over and over.

Friend: “Why don’t we just use concrete?”
Official: “Are you trying to put people out of work?”

Oh don’t worry, the right pockets will wind up padded either way..

[P.O.E.]

Funny thing about Monopoly money, no?

[airborne]

But you can damn sure bet the union bosses who will benefit from those infrastructure jobs will not miss a penny of increased pay (kickbacks).
