I'm okay but the city down the road (Richmond, VA) has been without
for about three days now. Looks like a case of poor plant maintenance
combined with electrical infrastructure that has fellen badly behind
demand but full details are not available yet.
Ah.
Infrastructure.
Not a sexy topic, politically (or any other way, I suspect). So it
tends to be ignored because "nobody cares".
Until it fails. Then /lots/ of people care.
Here's a clue: if the Biden infrastructure funding has been used up,
the only real alternative is /local taxes for local projects/. This
will not, I suppose affect you, but Richmond might find it a useful
concept.
