    I believe these attacks are ops to justify more funding into infrastructure using taxpayer money

    Just like how they use domestic terrorist attacks to justify increasing surveillance, military budget, police budget, etc. they are using domestic terrorist attacks on infrastructure to justify sucking more money from the citizens to pay for infrastructure corporation's upgrades

    They know it's already failing. They know the capitalists won't fix it themselves without a short term profit incentive. So they're trying to force the capitalists to improve it by giving them money and making them sign a contract

    I predict this will go the way of when telecom companies got billions to improve internet connectivity, but almost all of it obviously just went into pockets of execs and into cash on hand balance sheet while very little got accomplished for improving their services/products

      Have you seen the state of our infrastructure? Funding it would be good lol

      I doubt it's an op tbh, if it is it won't be by the, uh, infrastructure industrial complex?

      Since we live in hell, it's more likely that these are local fash militia things that got away from their fed handlers a lil bit. Don't get me wrong I suspect this will be used as an excuse to privatize infrastructure, but I doubt that was the planned intent of these acts

        It's an op by the Pentagon/ClA because they've already submitted multiple reports on how the American power grid is failing and is a massive vulnerability to national interests

        They don't want to improve the infrastructure to improve people's lives. It's to make it so everybody is still alive, able to commute to work, and the companies they work still having energy to run

        Basically, it's the equivalent of the vaccines where they obviously didn't give a shit about your health but they gave everybody free healthcare anyways so that people wouldn't die and can still go to work

        They let people with cancer and disabilities die because it's an extremely small population, expensive to cure, and even if treated, are less productive as workers

        But they tried to treat covid since it would affect too many people

        Same with infrastructure

        they're not going to improve the infrastructure, they're just going to build giant walls around it

        How would you make infrastructure "fail naturally"? I'm sure there's lot of monitoring on the health of these systems and regular check up reports (that get ignored)
