Point Made

Last week I posted about how the recent bridge collapse in Minneapolis reminded me of the Y2K crisis.

I ended by stating that once the initial shock was over, the infrastructure crisis would dissolve into the background of our sub-conscious until the potholes in our local roads got so bad, that we'd start complaining again.

Well, this morning, CNNHN conducted a text message poll asking whether people would be willing to pay a 5 cent surcharge on their gasoline to be used towards infrastructure repair and upgrades.

Over 70% of the respondents said NO!

Point made.
