That’s over in the US, but it lives overseas. Of course, much of infrastructure building is extremely wasteful and pointless, especially in Japan and China where the purpose seems to be spending money.

I think it’s pretty much over in Europe, too, the Chunnel being the last big project. Again, the sclerosis and short-term greed of the Ruling Class.
