US infrastructure is 3rd world tier shit. they claim rail is a B, I have no idea how when they don't have high speed nada and Amtrak is total shit.
Aviation should be a solid F and they don't even mention telecoms since everyone knows the US telecoms suck ass

How do you even get an accurate report for something like this in the US
It's massive, and varies massively from state to state.
>>130516733
the report is done by the American Society for Civil Engineers and the report also gives a State by State break down.
So it's no different than a report by the CDC concerning the US

What I'm saying is that giving an overall grade for the US isn't that useful since there are a lot of poor shitty states that nobody cares about
If it was those grades for like new york or california then I'd be worried

california has the worst water, and the worst roads of any US state.
it's in the report. they have a bigger lead problem than Flint Michigan
>>130517754
That is surprising
>>130517960
Actually its not that surprising. Its been known for several decades that lead in water increases violent behavior and well just look at California.
The roads are not that surprising either. Road construction in the US is a matter of planned obsolescence and is fucking horrendous. Its a works program designed to continuously run on.

NY ain't better
i'm an expat, for road TX is one of the best states, but that's only for what u brits call motorways
cali is one of the worst for basically every thing
i grew up in tx lived over 2 years in ca

>the worst roads of any US state.

That's where you're wrong, kiddo.

this, the contract goes to the lowest bidder, naturally in a few years they want another contract
it also does not help hat everything in the US in now a monopoly. which is why every things is now expensive and total shit

The fuck is ASCE? Sounds like a lobby that tries to get as much public funding as it possibly can for civil projects.

yeah, just like the society for neuroscience is a lobby to make more brain diseases too
