I wonder about this too, and the situation in Jackson has really brought it front of mind. Somebody somewhere talked about what you're saying, how collapse isn't a single cataclysmic event, but a series of smaller ones, as the state is gradually less able to respond, and things start to fray around the edges. I think we're already in that process, what's happening in Jackson is connected to the flood response in Kentucky, to Hurricane Maria, to Flint, to Katrina. And sure, a lot of these of are natural disasters driven by racial politics, but hey, it's not like the natural disasters or racism is going to stop, the only factor that changes is the system, and it's capacity to respond to them. I also think a lot about infrastructure, and how we're barely building any new infrastructure, much less maintaining what we have. From a perspective of public works, I think my whole life time has been after the high water mark.
