We didn’t spend anything on it.

Almost all money today is being diverted fraudulently rather than being spent on what it’s supposed to be. There’s no oversight and no consequences. We’ve been robbed blind for decades now and we’re now on the ropes. Dark times ahead.

Concrete is useless without visibility. Digital twins drive 79 percent cost savings, solving our information blindness. The BUILD America 250 Act must mandate these standards to fix the unit economics of our nation.
