There needs to be massive reform in the way infrastructure is built in the US yet nobody is even proposing a fix.

The people who would be capable of proposing a fix are the ones who benefit from bleeding the system dry.
Must first start with the political operating system that cannot be reformed from within. After that happens, then it's possible to have sensible governance and effectively implementing megaprojects. Public-private "partnerships" are just subsidies to corporate profits.
Many of the special interests that benefit from the status quo have a stranglehold over narrative. How would a consensus ever emerge to strip labor unions of their power in the current social landscape for example?
A fix to what? The people who would have to propose the fix are the ones benefitting the most from it not being fixed.
my proposed fixed: election reform so we can have representatives that actually serve the people
