Pep Talk #1 - Infrastructure

Welcome to the very first episode of Weekly Political Pep Talks! Today's main topic will be infrastructure. We'll start the episode with a quick intro and talk a little bit about ourselves, the hosts of this very podcast. Then we'll get into two main headlines for the week, regarding the Surfside condo collapse in Florida and President Biden's decision to pull US troops out of Afghanistan. Next, we'll move on to our main topic segment about infrastructure. We'll talk about the importance of infrastructure regulations and give examples of what happens when infrastructure regulations are either not updated or simply ignored as well as discuss President Biden's infrastructure bill and its many parts, then share our thoughts. Finally, we'll introduce today's quote of the week: "We should not be scrimping on investments in public safety. The lack of infrastructure spending is costing us lives in America."
