One thing worth noting in this is that, at least in the US, a lot of the "infrastructure spending" that has been talked about recently is, in fact, maintenance.

We have roads, bridges, and buildings that were built decades ago, then the funds that should have gone for their maintenance spent on tax cuts instead, so they're limping along with stopgap solutions.

The US talks about infrastructure and then nothing happens because of political impasse on Capitol Hill. Biden is no Deng Xiaoping and the Democrats are no CCP.

Maybe it's time for radical political reform to end these deadlocks?
