      Dunno, but of the stuff I’ve heard of lately, the bridges that randomly collapse or planes that fall out of the sky because of design defects were American.

      No. They have a massive incentive to keep infrastructure working, whereas the US can just let bridges collapse and never even bother rebuilding them because there is no incentives. The primary source of questions are from Western news media asking “but at what cost?”
