We spoke with @ahawkinson (Founder & CEO BrightAI) about the infrastructure crisis: "The US, if you grade the infrastructure, has like a C minus or a D." "Most of the critical infrastructure was built just before and after World War II. It's really held together with duct tape and wire." "You also have systemic labor problems because older technicians are aging out and younger workers are not replacing them." "30% of the water we clean up leaches back out into the environment due to leaks in the pipes everywhere. Like my town has wooden pipes, if you can believe that. It's crazy."
