re: #108 DesertDenizen

All this talk about infrastructure and what it is bothers me a great deal. I’m an Urban Planner. When new development comes in, they have to put in infrastructure. Even under an old school concept that means roads, utilities, schools, parks, emergency services stations, libraries; everything needed for meaningful habitation. A more modern interpretation would easily include broadband and cell sites at a minimum. Child and elder care are also within the realm of possibility. I have seen higher end planned developments include them. This roads only claim makes me very upset.

similarly, houses didnt used to be built with electrical wiring or plumbing. then they were. no one would question that now.

houses didnt used to be built with rj45 jacks or cat 5 wiring, then they were. no one would question that now.

same with office space and hotels. in every room.

(yes, wi-fi has somewhat surpassed the rj45/cat 5 necessity)

you know what else is becoming ubiquitous? usb charging ports built into electrical outlets.

they’re just against progress and change.
any argument, no matter how illogical or absurd they will take it up.

if trump had said ‘masks!’ all the Rs would have.

in fact if trump had said broadband everywhere instead of that stupid wall, congress just might have done it - or started it - even at the significantly higher cost.
