I'm just trying to imagine a party member in China seriously suggesting holding off on critical infrastructure spending for 6 months for... reasons(?) and how they'd just immediately get shitcanned because the Chinese government isn't a complete fucking joke when it comes to doing literally anything functional.
How the fuck is an infrastructure bill of all things getting gutted? I know capitalism is inherently self-destructive, but at least a handful of these goons' donors have to realize their empires can't run if the fucking roads fall apart to the point where trucks can't run, right? I feel like we're reaching the point where some Q chud in the House is going to seriously suggest defunding the FAA or something and the Democrats are going to unanimously approve it to appease the parliamentarian spirits or whatever.

They Do. Not. Care. Many members of Congress and wealthy business leaders cannot think further than 5 years in the future and cannot perceive patterns. Adam Smith and pop-economics are "wowee, smart guy stuff".
Many more are rich and simply do not care if public infrastructure collapses. They might even view it as a bonus - if you privatize things, less concern about the plebs crowding around!

It's inexplicable. Plus - if Manchin gets his way - the dems will get gutted in 2022 and Biden will become a half-term president.
not just a half-term, but a quarter-term
