That and we can’t displace black people anymore to build national highways thru residential areas. /s
However I do agree. Our politicians prefer to wank over unimportant things instead of working on things that actually would benefit the people. And the government contracting system is horribly broken.
There is no incentive to putting in the hard work to accomplish projects like before.

New interstates are being built all the time. They are under construction today.
Yes, and they are built at absolutely ruinous costs.

This isn't a great argument for building more nuclear plants. It might be an argument for hiring someone else to build them...
It's not because concrete is some arcane technology that isn't cost effective, or doesn't work. It's because we just aren't very good at building things anymore.
