It's always about using the govt money for something the rich assholes that want the govt to help invest in high rise buildings.
10 years of rotten teeth later and of course.
It would have been cheaper in the long run to have spent the $10 million fixing the system from the start.
doing preventative maintenance on a planned schedule is always cheaper in the long run. except when these clowns run on "reducing waste and overspending" until they're elected and have the great idea to invest in fixing things for once (at a 3x premium because it's rushed as a result of a catastrophic failure…)
Yeah, people don't seem to learn from history and keep electing politicians that promise some vague short term gains by cutting down everything that's good for us
