It has been abundantly clear for many decades that the financialized nature of our economy has no interest in public infrastructure. Maintaining or improving public infrastructure is completely out of the question because it is not profitable. And in cases where improving public infrastructure can be beneficial for local economies, we have a main stream media and a centralized banking system, which advises against creating more jobs in an already so-called hot economy. The question remains, What motivation does financial capital have to improve public infrastructure when it is deincentivized at every turn.

What was the infrastructure bill for? Was $50 billion not enough?

The US is more concerned about helping every other country out there but itself.

Partnering with financial capital to improve infrastructure is guaranteed to maintain the status quo and this official is very well aware of it. His speeches are full of empty promises and rainbows and unicorns but we all know that none of this will actually come to pass.
