America's Crumbling Infrastructure

[celticdb15]

New show on the History Channel, Inspector America,that I thought was pretty interesting. It just goes to show that America's Infrastructure is starting to get outdated and most cities have far outgrown the infrastructure that was laid down, sometimes more than 100 years ago! Clearly America needs to get back to basics at home, rather than meddling in every other Third World countries affairs..

America has one of the greatest infrastructures in history, with roadways, dams, tunnels and bridges that were built to last. But over the decades, the infrastructure that helped our country grow hasn't kept up with the times--from underground sewers built during the Gold Rush to highways designed for 1925 traffic. Now, HISTORY sets out to inspect the country to see what is up to code and what needs to be fixed. Timothy Galarnyk, an infrastructure safety inspector with over 35 years of experience, hosts INSPECTOR AMERICA. Galarnyk's initial sweep takes him to six American locations that have infrastructure challenges. He uses the tools of his trade to evaluate the structures, gauge dangers and offer opinions on how to deal with it. Galarnyk also highlights the good news and positive projects in the areaEdited by: celticdb15

Building and repairing infrastructure require forethought (a White trait) and most nonwhites live in the present for immediate gratification and see no reason to spend money on something that will have long term benefit but requires sacrificing in the present.

As the country becomes more nonwhite, long term planning is pushed aside for dividing the money and resources amongst the nonwhites and White "elite" with no concern for the future. Interestingly, it appears that even White politicians in a multicultural (or racial) society are the Whites with the least ability to plan for the future. Is it cause or effect, are the White politicians elected because of nonwhite voting and the promise of immediate gratification or does a society become multicultural (or racial) because the powers that be can't foresee the disaster that multiculturalism brings?
