But a significant portion of funds are often allocated at the state or federal level from various grants. There’s nothing stopping the federal government from setting up a “fix potholes” grant - if there was a proper infrastructure bill, this would a part of it. Of course, the incentive structures that dominate modern decision making at the upper levels will never see it hair without major changes.

While swans are mostly monogamous, there are instances where they aren’t as well: https://chipperbirds.com/swans-monogamy/

Of course, if monogamy is an ideal to be strived towards, swans do do a much better job than humans.

While some people don’t vote out of apathy, others are a target of indirect disenfranchisement that prevents the working poor from voting.

Ah, but the question is, is this a moral universe? Or an apathetic universe?

Absolutely - DOGE is illegal, and needs to be reined in, if not flat out abolished - however, unless the congress actually gets its act together, I think the federal government agencies will continue to be gutted.

And to be fair, while DOGE is nothing but a bunch of lying fucks, they are in fact targeting the military too- they’ve demanded the pentagon cut their budget by 8%.
