Lake Worth Commissioner makes the case for doing nothing because things get old and break

At the 1:10 mark in the video (below) we learn something new about water heaters from Commissioner Ryan Maier. When you buy one at Home Depot they can predict, almost to the day, when the appliance will stop working. That's news to everyone including the manufacturers and staff at Home Depot too.

He goes on to make the case that fixing infrastructure is a bad idea because new technology will come along that is better. Some day. So if only we wait another five years better software, equipment and parts will be available. The problem is in five years, according to Maier's logic, we'll have to wait another five years, and then another and another and another. Basically Maier gives the message we should do nothing. Ever.

Enjoy this short video; it's very enlightening:
