  1. This is what happens when you spend most of the countries budget fighting unnecessary wars. A piss poor infrastructure is what you get

  2. Why don't you do an article about asbestos-concrete water mains? There are literally thousands of miles of it in the USA!

  3. As long as you don't drink it it's cool right?
