To expand your last paragraph, I've been wondering about how the whole thing will affect geo-politics (as well as national politics). I wonder if there's a forum of people doing thinking about all possible scenarios. Things like the world pivoting towards China because, hey, Xi is a despot, but at least he isn't volatile...
The joke was, when Putin invaded Ukraine everyone turned from epidemiology experts into geo-political experts. I wonder where the proper experts are now.
Specifically to transportation, they want to “save money” with public-private partnerships and removing the requirement to separate design and build functions for contractors.
A textbook example of how that works out is the former Tappan Zee bridge in New York. The tollpayers are in the hook to pay the contractor for 50 years, and the design has some significant flaws that reduced build expense. Stuff like bolts regularly falling off the bridge.
Elections have consequences, and hearing about our descent into third world graft will continue to annoy you.
