I've been doing a field survey of some of the drinking water pump stations around town and wow. It's amazing how much of the infrastructure has been neglected and is only held together with duck tape, bubble gum, and prayers.

I am less and less patients supporting entities that serve little to no purpose other than making the news. What I've seen over the years is that if resources are not spent on some of the basic utilities the world is going to crash hard and a lot of people are going to suffer.
