Bring in people to fix them. Pay the tax-payers to fix the infrastructure. Stop trying to find ways to funnel people's money to corporations!

The problem from now on is that robots will do things cheaper and better. When robo-taxis are widespread, who will want a $20 fare with a human driver, when the robo-taxi fare is $5.

At some point, we'll have to reorganize how we support people, and pay for things. The day is coming AI & robots will be able to do most work cheaper than humans.

Cut military spending, raise taxes on giant corporations and the 1% and hire actual people to help rebuild the infrastructure.
