America in transition: Aging infrastructure at a breaking point

48 thoughts on “America in transition: Aging infrastructure at a breaking point”

1. The US spent nearly $2 trillion in the war in Afghanistan. In just a decade, China spent $1 trillion to build the largest HSR system in the world.

2. US aka richest country in the world. Also US the schools are so under budget teachers are obligated to provide school supplies.

3. US needs JIO there… It will decrease ur internet and call bills to almost negligible or free first and then a small fee after some yrs…. And it works on 4g everywhere even in rural areas

4. After Joes plan America will be broke not just breaking point…. 1.5 trillion and only 250 billion actually spent on infrastructure? This sounds a lot like 2 trillion for Covid relief and only 9% actually spent on relief. You bunch of stupid sheep.

5. Old building were made of stone clay lime and withstood natural elements for more than 400 yrs but concrete needs repair in every 10 to 15 yrs facing the same . So are we advanced than our ancestors in building materials or we have degraded

6. I tell y’all what if I go over a hard bumpy ass bridge 1 more time 😤😤

7. Instead of fixing the infrastructure they are going to keep on giving money to Israel and bombing third world countries

8. Thanks obama

9. The U. S. is a member of NATO, right? NATO = NO ACTION, TALK ONLY!

10. The cost they predict to actually fix all this is… really fucking low, especially for the benefits. But it's not sexy and benefits everyone so they can't blame the "other side" for things so it doesn't happen. Pathetic.

11. Engineer: we need $10 million to replace this bridge… Congress: nah ….gender studies in Pakistan is more important……..🖕😀

12. This video aged well.

13. When the richest avoid tax and don’t invest on their home nation

14. Don't worry, democracy will be the solution

15. Why would we spend money on infrastructure or free healthcare when we got a 20+ yr war going on? Ya gotta know whats important here!

16. Well, time to invest in Darkpulse (DPLS)….! And VeChain!

17. Infrastructure ?
    China : we plan it today, and we do it tomorrow….

    USA: we plan it today, and we debate tomorrow, and keep debating, keep delaying…..Till next election……
    (Third world country systems)

18. What’s really inside Biden’s infrastructure bill? It sure looks like a political payoff to his Big Tech and Big Business donors and election riggers. Payola by another name. Graft disguised as a benefit.

    The GOP better ask some tough questions: Exactly what infrastructure is targeted? Exactly how will the nation pay for it? Exactly whose taxes are going up and by how much? For example, do we really need universal high-speed internet – or is that merely a handout to Big Tech? Will prudent Republican states be bled dry to pay for repairs to profligate welfare cities with no money? Better believe it.

19. Congrats your money for US military industry

20. China is going to usurp power from the US if we don’t change. We have to remember we are competing with China. They have been investing in transportation infrastructure for the past 15 years all over China, extending loans to build Chinese trains in the African continent and throughout Asia. They know that these countries will never be able to pay them back, but are using this leverage to mobilize trading and mining routes as a modern “colonial power”, earning from the interest the loans accrue, and from cheap transport of natural resources and labor from their trans international network. The first thing the Nazis did in WW2 was build trains all over the country. When we bicker over budgets, we are losing the trade and power war with China

21. When one these briges crumdle it will be a big prod beacuse people will die and it all could of bin prevented with some reparirs

22. This is what you call catch 22. Your have to spend money to make money. To make money you have to have enough customers.

23. China please come and bild America. Or do we need slave again?

24. The US is now completely incapable of building any large infrastructure project. Every project is ridiculously politicized and seen as a giant money grab bag that results in grossly inflated costs and endless delays.

25. Can Americans just apply for refugee status and seek asylum in Canada or something.

26. Meanwhile they're throwing billions everywhere overseas. Trudeau in Canada is throwing hundreds of billions to fucking africa, here the middle class is shrinking, infrastructure crumbling etc.. what a joke

27. It's sad, the US is gradually becoming a third world country and the covid scam is accelerating it

28. The USA is beginning to look more and more like a third world country, to much self interest. It’s not to late to do something now …. if not it will be to late .

29. The problem the US Government has (Dem or Rep) is that they always run big infrastructure projects through Wall Street. They look at how turn such projects into profit. Hopefully, Pete as Transportation Secretary can help with this. He's a smart guy. If he could turn this around and deliver the goods – well he might have a good shot running for POTUS one day.

30. PT in America is a joke compared to most developed countries and still they are pondering about closing the little they do have because of lack of funding… The richest country on earth, or so we've been told.

31. This is what the US needs to focus on, not whether the RF is racist😒

32. USA is bankrupt and leftist's dump

33. Interesting how we’re going to pay for the infrastructure for this moon base🤣 what ever happened to priorities

34. Living in america is so cool! Not tense everyday at all👍🏾

35. At this point, the entire 4yrs of this administration needs to only focus on infrastructure. 1. Determine what roads and bridges to work on. 2. Determine what cities need overhaul water treatment plants. 3. Overhaul electrical grid. 4. Install EV charging. 5. Setup high speed rail

36. Didnt trump pump money into infrastructure, where did all that money go ?

37. Nancy refused opposed infrastructure recover when Trump wanted her too. Get it straight stop blaming Trump for the Dems and MSM bad reporting years of neglect.

38. No money for proper infrastructure maintenance. But have trillions of dollars for the military industrial complex and Wall Street bailouts. Wow America. You’re wild, for real.

39. Same message different president. American leaders have abandoned most cities and states in favor of lucrative trade deals and automation lol

    The revolt from the working class is coming

40. People asking for results, while don't want to move out of the way of development, don't want to pay tax and don't want government at all in some cases, well, go ahead and do it yourself, ah you can't because you will need to make a profit for all the repairs you do, which is not nearly as profitable as stockmarket or real estate so being a good capitalist everyone start crying why there is nothing happenings..idk you tell me.

41. Buy China's infrastructure, high speed rail for cheap.

42. China robbed us!

43. Poor baby… You fell! Your message is true but your story is blah!

44. Madness to spend U$740 billion military expenditure every year

45. Bring back glorious Conservation Corps to rescue USA 🇺🇸 homeland. !!

46. But lets send money to pakistan to fund gender studies 🙄

47. WE'RE NUMBER ONE..WE'RE NUMBER ONE..WE'RE NUMBER ONE..WE'RE NUMBER ONE

48. Drove by the LaGuardia airport on a sunny Friday afternoon and many more times, never seen anybody working on the construction site. This is the real problem of The USA.
