Infrastructure spending is a human rights issue?

[PostmodernProphet]

I'm thinking of all the small rural towns that keep getting bypassed on infrastructure projects.

we were lucky.....we got a $1.2M bicycle path bridge over an interstate......that didn't have a bicycle path leading up to it in either direction,.....

I'm thinking of communities like Flint.

between the state and federal governments we managed to spend hundreds of millions of dollars solving a five million dollar problem that never actually impacted more than 7% of Flint's 780,000 residents.......thanks to the liberal press making an issue out of it AFTER the state had agreed to replace the impacted water lines and begun the repair work........

Not even that. In many rural and small town regions in the interior of our nation we have infrastructure haves and have nots. That is an issue I have long argued Democrats need to champion to attract rural and working class voters. Try running a small business these days with limited IT infrastructure, for example. Crumbling roads and other public utilities doesn't help attract capital investments either.

You're right, there's more to it than just water but it's mostly about environmental concerns. She didn't just come up with this on her own it's a global movement and its been around for a while.
