After months of delay, the House passes infrastructure bill

For me, this article was quite confusing and hard to follow. In contrast, CNN’s article was easier for me to understand:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;11&#x2F;05&#x2F;politics&#x2F;house-votes-infrastructure-build-back-better&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnn.com&#x2F;2021&#x2F;11&#x2F;05&#x2F;politics&#x2F;house-votes-infrastr...</a>

The $1trn headline makes me expect something to excite the imagination... A roman aquaduct wow factor. Something to marvel at.<p>Am I being shallow? Does it make bad sense to cut a $100bn slice for something epic? A hypersonic monorail perhaps?

They&#x27;re really working on making automobiles a lot safer by installing breathalyzers in every car. Exciting times!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;6086981&#x2F;bipartisan-infrastructure-bill-breathalyzers&#x2F;?amp=true" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;6086981&#x2F;bipartisan-infrastructure-bill-brea...</a>

This whole time I&#x27;ve been confused how investing more money in roads is compatible with our climate goals. Should we not trying to decommission roads and encourage people to move to denser, walkable and cyclable city centers?

What exactly is in it?<p>If you add up the numbers at the bottom of the article, it is only about 500B. Is the rest already already allocated infrastructure spending?

Ha! Just as I expected, a bill that mostly builds infrastructure that corporations&#x2F;Wall Street wanted, not much for the slave class (also known as the “middle class”).<p>As Warren Buffet once said “there has been class warfare and my class won.”<p>Biden should man-up and issue executive orders to satisfy at least a few of his campaign promises to the non-elite class.

Fiber to the basement, 1 to 10 gigabyte internet speeds?

Previous upload and convo of the senate bill text for reference: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28047538" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=28047538</a><p>Much ink gets spilled over the machinations leading up to legislation. But the machinations being in the open as they were give us normies a chance express our opinions on it in real time to our representatives. It’s actually the opposite of lobbyists and crony capitalism. Granted, two things can be true and lobbyists and “well funded interests” get their say all throughout the process. Still a world of difference from a bill coming out from closed door meetings with nobody outside even seeing it.
