      That would cost cities 100's of millions of dollars. You can't just tear up roads in every major city for no reason. Have you worked a day in a utility company in your life?

      He said checked, not replaced. Since it was only one type of pipe made during a certain era that was poorer quality where they used thinner metal bands than what should have been used. They would only need to check if they have any of that specific pipe. So not as big of a task as one would think

    I think the answer is bigger government and larger bureaucracies overseeing every facet of our lives, whilst increasing our taxes ad infinitum to support their annual salaries for all the hard work they do for us. Also the banking system & multi-national corporations should embed themselves even further into our systems of governance. Then we can find out everything that is going on in our society through our objective media platforms that aren't subservient to any of these power levers. This type of system will result in a highly effective governing body helping foster innovation and the human "can-do" spirit. 👍
