    What does this abstraction contribute to the discourse? Does it rile up support for fixing potholes? Does it rile up support for Palestine?

    My feeling is it obfuscates the issues and makes progress seem impossible.

      It draws attention to the fact that we are paying money to shoot missiles at innocent Palestinian children.

        Ok, but is this the first time? For as long as I’ve been alive there has been pot holes and there has been discontent in the middle east. So if anyone was wondering, yes, I know america has a failing infrastructure and is waging war across the world. In fact, I believe this is common knowledge.

            Thus, the common knowledge part.

          People are always mad about pot holes and military spending where have you been?

            This is my point! At least I know one person gets it.

              Perhaps the frustration is exacerbated by the lack of progress relative to the amount of money spent and time since these issues have manifested. It’s also particularly visible in our increasingly globalized and interconnected world.

        What’s so weird? Watch last week tonight every week. The problems are known. It’s the solution that we have to tell people about.
