Mitch Kapor
The greatest food city in the world is New York City, just in terms of depth and breadth, variety, size, infrastructure.

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
Incentives and infrastructure should encourage development and that development needs to contain the right types of housing in the right places.
Grant Shapps
Some infrastructure projects clearly require massive, coordinated investment – interstate highways or a new trans-Hudson tunnel, for instance. Others don’t have to. We should be unafraid of pilot projects and learning.
Cathy Engelbert
Introducing a voting threshold for strike action would save the country billions, unleashing productivity gains from rail infrastructure to administration.
Dominic Raab
Banks can send big corporate payments through existing channels or send a small payment through Ripple. They don’t have to rip out existing infrastructure; they can use Ripple to make the transactions more profitable or more efficient.
Chris Larsen
Investment in public infrastructure is key to America’s greatness and essential to our national security.
Tom Malinowski
A lot of Hollywood films tend to be bloated, bombastic, loud. At the same time, I do like the infrastructure of making a blockbuster; it’s like having a big train set.
David Yates

Valerie Jarrett
We don’t know what the trajectory of autonomous or linked vehicles will be, and we don’t have a clear understanding on what that means in terms of infrastructure and policy. But we know it’s coming.
Ted Wheeler
Our regional infrastructure deficiencies are problems that everyone – taxpayers, commuters, workers, business owners – experience every day.
Conor Lamb
I represent nine sovereign Sioux tribes. In South Dakota, some of the tribes are in the most remote, rural areas of the country. They lack essential infrastructure. Some communities don’t even have clean drinking water.

Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
There’s so much innovation going on, and there are lots of people funding that innovation, but there’s very little innovation on that infrastructure for innovation itself, so we like to do that ourselves to help companies create more tech companies.
Naval Ravikant
Having a scriptable infrastructure requires upfront work but can pay huge dividends in bringing new engineers onto your infra team, as well as helping in disaster-recovery scenarios.

Eric Garcetti
I love being in Delhi, the food and the infrastructure are amazing.
Priyanshu Chatterjee

Xavier Becerra
We believe infrastructure is key to economic growth, and we will do what we can to develop infrastructure in India.

Pat Buchanan
The next Led Zeppelin is playing somewhere, and they’ll likely never make it because there’s no infrastructure for it. They’ll never get a chance.
Sean Kinney

Goodluck Jonathan
The decision to incentivise savings for pension funds augurs well for infrastructure financing and retirement planning.
Arundhati Bhattacharya

Mike Parson
But I love the idea – whether it’s in my work or where I live – exploring new frontier, and I like putting myself in strange places and trying to survive and figure things out and gather up an infrastructure. I like knowing that I could figure out a way to live anywhere.
Madonna Ciccone
When it comes to space, I see it as my job, I’m building infrastructure the hard way. I’m using my resources to put in place heavy lifting infrastructure so the next generation of people can have a dynamic, entrepreneurial explosion into space.
Jeff Bezos
We should be increasing our investment in the infrastructure for public safety and public health. But when we talk about those as two distinct and separate departments or budgetary items, we’re missing out on the ways in which we should be most effectively using our resources and serving our residents.
Michelle Wu
The stimulus legislation, technically known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, was a mixture of tax cuts for families and businesses; increased transfer payments, like unemployment insurance; and increased direct government spending, like infrastructure investment.

Tae Yoo
We need investment in green economy infrastructure; public services, training and education; and a multilateral plan to create youth job opportunities.

Ted Deutch
With the Google Brain project, we made the decision to build deep learning processes on top of Google’s existing infrastructure.

Betsy Hodges
What made Manhattan Manhattan was the underground infrastructure, that engineering marvel.
Andrew Cuomo
After one Olympics, if we invest in sports and say we will get a gold medal in the next Olympic, it doesn’t work like that in sports. How it works is that you provide the infrastructure, provide education about nutrition and health.

Hilary Beckles
The highly functional infrastructure that surrounds us, particularly in the West, is a gift from our ancestors: the comparatively uncorrupt political and economic systems, the technology, the wealth, the lifespan, the freedom, the luxury, and the opportunity.
Jordan Peterson
When I say infrastructure it’s not just roads and bridges and subways – it’s also housing. It’s also schools and fire departments and water departments and sewer departments. That’s all infrastructure and it’s all important. Little by little this country is crumbling and everyone knows it.
Michael Capuano
We need to build roads, bridges, airports, locks, dams, and rail that work for this century – not the last one. And let’s not forget about updating our energy grid, repairing and replacing our water infrastructure and sewers, and making sure all Americans have access to broadband.

The cost of infrastructure development to host a mega-event can be offset against economic growth over future decades.
Richard Attias
If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.

Porter Stansberry
Smart infrastructure can provide cost-saving ways for municipalities to handle both infrastructure and social needs. And we want to shift the systems that open the doors for people who were formerly tax burdens to become part of the tax base.
Majora Carter
From the water we drink to the roads and bridges we travel each morning and evening, infrastructure touches every Kentuckian, every day.
Andy Beshear

Philip Hammond
While America’s infrastructure needs are substantial, there is no reason to delay completion of the highway bill. Every day of delay means jobs lost, investment opportunities missed and growth sacrificed.
John Engler
Two kids in their dorm room can’t start anything important in space today.

Jeff Bezos
Infrastructure is much more important than architecture.
Rem Koolhaas
Events like Hurricane Katrina and the Minnesota bridge collapse suggest a national infrastructure that has suffered from lack of tending.
Nina Easton
The idea that Google, Yahoo, and eBay are getting a free ride is absolutely unfair criticism. We have to build out our own infrastructure. And we have to inter-connect to the public Internet.
Vint Cerf
Education in India has made monumental progress since Independence but continues to face daunting challenges at multiple levels, particularly in terms of quality, infrastructure and dropout rates. We have islands of excellence floating in a sea of mediocrity.
Shashi Tharoor
During natural disasters or emergencies, the most resilient communities – places that suffer the fewest casualties and rebuild more quickly – are not the wealthiest neighborhoods or ones that have spent the most on physical infrastructure, but rather the communities with the strongest social infrastructure.
Michelle Wu
Investing in more fossil fuel infrastructure will not strengthen our economy over the long-term, since the market is clearly indicating that clean energy sources are the future.
Tom Steyer
We’re building the infrastructure we need, whether it be the Melbourne Rail Link, the airport rail link which Melburnians have so wanted for over 40 years, upgrading the Pakenham-Cranbourne railway line, or building the East-West Link.
Denis Napthine
Ensuring the safety and security of our monuments and infrastructure is critical to protecting our communities and the American people.
Dan Donovan
Government should seek more strategic approaches to developing dynamic, resilient infrastructure. Business must be more creative in offering financing solutions as partners with government, and people must support sustainable innovation as a public policy priority.
Frans van Houten
We seem to be our own worst enemies. We should require critical U.S. infrastructure to remain in U.S. hands.
Duncan Hunter
Kenya doesn’t have much of an infrastructure for hosting a film.
Ralph Fiennes
They were two and a half decades in which Brazil had no capacity to invest in infrastructure. Just to give you an idea, in 1989, we had in Brazil about 50,000 project-engineering businesses. When I took office, there were just 8,000. Universities were no longer turning out engineers.
Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva
Foreign capital to build new cinemas will help modernize China’s aging cinema infrastructure, attract Chinese consumers back into cinemas, and increase demand for U.S. films.
Jack Valenti
You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.

John Perkins
We should not be waiting until trains derail, bridges collapse and people die to adequately fund our transportation infrastructure.

Americans were outraged by Russia’s interference in our presidential election, but a wider threat is Russia’s doctrine of hybrid warfare, which includes cybersabotage of critical American infrastructure from nuclear plants to electrical grids.
Jeanne Shaheen
We must invest in our nation’s transportation infrastructure.
Dan Lipinski
In 2008 we came perilously close to killing money, exposing in the process how out of date money’s infrastructure has become.
Douglas Coupland
We mustn’t forget we chose the name ‘WWW’ before there was even one line of code written. We could do that because the Internet as an infrastructure was already there.
Robert Cailliau
The people in Iraq lived essentially good lives. They had brilliant health and education systems. Saddam actually created an incredible infrastructure in a very difficult country, but they were a Mafia family. If you said anything against that regime or that family you would be killed instantly.
Dominic Cooper
As AI becomes the new infrastructure, flowing invisibly through our daily lives like the water in our faucets, we must understand its short- and long-term effects and know that it is safe for all to use.
Kate Crawford
When approved, the SAFE Port Act will make progress toward protecting the physical infrastructure of our seaports as well as our national economy which is so clearly dependent on the commercial shipping business.
Lucille Roybal-Allard
The government is talking about developing smart cities and to them, smart cities mean infrastructure. But to me, a city is smart when the mindset of the people is conducive to fitnness and health.
Milind Soman
Not using fly ash in our highways would just be a plain waste of taxpayers’ money, which I find unacceptable. Most people don’t realize that without fly ash, many of Montana’s infrastructure projects simply would not have been possible – like the Hungry Horse Dam near Glacier National Park.
Matt Rosendale
We didn’t build the modern country to be bike-friendly – our initial round of infrastructure was not designed to think about how to get around if you’re not in a car. So we’ve got to be targeting resources, both nationally and locally, to how people are going to get around in the new world.
Mike Quigley
While restoring a sense of fiscal discipline to Congress is a top priority, infrastructure spending is an important and necessary task of government. Our nation’s long-term debt requires us to prioritize and economize with every tax dollar.
Cynthia Lummis
We talk a lot about infrastructure in cities, and it’s talking about highways and it’s talking about trains, but I think more important to people who are low income is, how do I get from here to there? How do I become part of the affluence that’s surrounding me?
Katherine Boo
The factors that have been holding farmers back are similar to those that threaten other types of growth in Africa. Infrastructure and transport are in many cases quite poor, resulting in the losses of huge amounts of produce.
Richard Attias
A black agenda is jobs, jobs, jobs, quality education, investment in infrastructure and strong democratic regulation of corporations. The black agenda, at its best, looks at America from the vantage point of the least of these and asks what’s best for all.
Cornel West
This is pool. This is setting up your next shot, and I always want to make sure when we’re setting up San Antonio’s next shot we have a good shot at making sure that we continue to build our infrastructure in such a way that San Antonio will be a player for years to come in national defense issues.
Pete Gallego
When companies are trying to find a state to locate a new business or factory, they look at a number of factors – including tax structure, employment base, infrastructure, education system, etc. One of the most important is a strong and sound health care system in the communities where employees will work and live.
Ronnie Musgrove
I think what IBM is excellent at is using their sales and marketing infrastructure to convince people who have asymmetrically less knowledge to pay for something.
Chamath Palihapitiya
Fighting recessions and building public infrastructure, including care, health, and educational infrastructure – this should not be the work of citizens. When it is, let’s acknowledge that’s a tragedy.
Annie Lowrey
The United States should pursue a more robust agenda for U.S. competitiveness and innovation focused on a lower-carbon economy, including investments in education, basic research and development, infrastructure, retraining, retirement security, and universal health care.
Mona Sutphen
I intend to bring forth the hardships and uncertainty stuntmen face. India does not have adequate infrastructure or safety guidelines to protect them, and their work often goes unnoticed.
Aishwarya R. Dhanush
During the last economic slowdown in the 1990s, the Tories slashed infrastructure investment. I am determined not to make that mistake.
Geoff Hoon
No Republican vote in favor of an infrastructure package should supersede our mission: to build an America that works for the people, not for massive corporations. Getting Republicans on board is not necessary. Getting the American people back on their feet is.
Jamaal Bowman
We have been getting ready to recycle more e-waste by investing in infrastructure, providing grants to local government and working with industry.
Jay Weatherill
You cannot make a giant space company in your dorm room. Not today. And the reason is that the heavy lifting infrastructure isn’t in place.
Jeff Bezos
Infrastructure development is economic development.
Kay Ivey
Governments clash with each other over who should control the co-ordination of the Internet’s infrastructure and critical resources.
Rebecca MacKinnon
Shikun & Binui, our infrastructure and real estate company, implements sustainability by building their projects 100% sustainable while educating their employees worldwide.
Shari Arison
Government should seek more strategic approaches to developing dynamic, resilient infrastructure. Business must be more creative in offering financing solutions as partners with government, and people must support sustainable innovation as a public policy priority.
Frans van Houten
Besides taking jobs from American workers, illegal immigration creates huge economic burdens on our health care system, our education system, our criminal justice system, our environment, our infrastructure and our public safety.
Jan C. Ting
The infrastructure for linking environmental health and public health is not working as well as it should.
Samuel Wilson
Developing safe products for people around the world will mean accounting for a much wider variety of devices, networks, infrastructure, and political environments.
Alex Stamos
I would urge Rachel Notley to be more like Peter Lougheed. Lougheed had a sensible plan for the oil sands, which involved ancillary infrastructure like upgraders and refineries.
Elizabeth May
No state can invest the kinds of dollars in infrastructure necessary on their own. They need federal help.
Bob Casey, Jr.
Xerox manages the infrastructure of E-ZPass for a large number of states. So when you say E-ZPass, and get some bill from E-ZPass, or call and ask a question about E-ZPass, you’re talking to a Xerox person.
Ursula Burns
A more productive economy in the long term will bring us higher tax revenues, but that requires long-term investment in infrastructure and the skills necessary to grow a balanced economy.
Jeremy Corbyn
Tax can be structured in a way that actually encourages investment in infrastructure and encourages investment in Australia from overseas.
Andrew Forrest
Doing something about infrastructure is something I would like to see while I’m governor.
Bill Haslam
All Western cities face significant challenges on social integration. Our populations are booming, but social integration is not keeping pace. Rapid growth is a sign of our success, but it also puts stress on housing, infrastructure – and on communities.
Sadiq Khan
We know how to build economies. It requires investment in jobs. The biggest medium-term multiplier is infrastructure.
Sharan Burrow
If we invest in logistic centers, improve on infrastructure and create a facilitative environment, we can easily turn Dar es Salaam into another Dubai of its kind.
Jakaya Kikwete
America must reduce its fiscal deficit, modernize its infrastructure, and improve its schools.
Richard N. Haass
In offering deals on immigration, infrastructure, and prison reform, President Trump has demonstrated that he is ready for compromise. But will Democrats take up his offer?
Kayleigh McEnany
The highly functional infrastructure that surrounds us, particularly in the West, is a gift from our ancestors: the comparatively uncorrupt political and economic systems, the technology, the wealth, the lifespan, the freedom, the luxury, and the opportunity.
Jordan Peterson
Once the violence has ceased, the US should immediately call on the World Bank and other international institutions to convene a donors conference to rebuild Lebanon’s shattered infrastructure.
John Conyers
Business has to have a seat at the table. Infrastructure isn’t going to be built properly if business doesn’t have a seat at the table. A school is not going to happen if businesses don’t work with schools about what kind of jobs they really need.
Jamie Dimon
All Australians understand that high-quality, reliable and affordable broadband is a critical part of the infrastructure our nation needs to prosper in coming years.
Malcolm Turnbull
Spending on infrastructure will help employment.
Jejomar Binay
Housing is stability. Housing is dignity. Housing is absolutely necessary, critical infrastructure.
Raphael Warnock
When we talk about infrastructure we’re also talking about jobs, but we’re also talking about addressing climate change. Our roads are in disrepair because of neglect over decades, but that disrepair is exacerbated by climate change, that’s taking a toll on our roads.
Raphael Warnock
I was elected to fight for the people of New Jersey, to win federal investment in our infrastructure, to strengthen our health care, to address gun violence, and get back our SALT deductions.
Tom Malinowski
If inflation is brought down, interest rates will fall. Once rates fall, we have the opportunity to maybe achieve the goal of ‘housing for all’ faster; take roads, infrastructure to India’s interiors.
Piyush Goyal
A demography that is digitising rapidly, and the potential to invest in infrastructure, are the key strengths of India.
Chanda Kochhar
On the tech side, little start-ups can do something magnificent. They don’t need too much in terms of plants and infrastructure.
Hamdi Ulukaya
We need to invest in our crumbling infrastructure to create jobs and remain economically competitive.
Raja Krishnamoorthi
At Amazon, we were not working with the e-commerce division but with the Web services team. We started Flipkart completely from scrap. Moreover, the whole shopping behaviour and infrastructure challenges in the Indian market were different from that in the U.S. and European markets.
Sachin Bansal
America faces a mounting transportation crisis, and the primary culprit is road congestion. Traffic makes us unhealthy, wastes enormous amounts of time, and cripples national productivity. America needs expanded roads and transportation infrastructure, but traditional gas tax funding is no longer available.
Joe Lonsdale
Taxpayers across the U.S. have invested hundreds of billions of dollars building our nation’s infrastructure, and that investment should be protected.
Dick Durbin
Words hold tremendous power, and if we don’t reclaim our language and start seeing people instead of ‘militants,’ drone victims instead of ‘bug splats,’ or natural splendor instead of ‘green infrastructure,’ then the voiceless are destined to be silenced forever.
Abby Martin
I think governments will increasingly be tempted to rely on Silicon Valley to solve problems like obesity or climate change because Silicon Valley runs the information infrastructure through which we consume information.
Evgeny Morozov
We can put millions of America’s idle young people to work helping to repair and restore America’s deteriorating infrastructure, public utilities, and transportation systems. Nothing would revitalize the nation’s sagging economy more than such a commitment.
Bernice King
I’d like to see technology to move beyond the hype and be considered part of infrastructure… the way you see access to water. I would like it to move away from apps and mobile money. So that everyone has their TV and their Wi-Fi, and it’s just ubiquitous. I think that’s where we should be headed.
Ory Okolloh
Afghanistan is developing its infrastructure to come up with a new direction of connectivity through energy transmission and modernisation of transport sector in an effort to cater to needs of modern day age.
Ashraf Ghani
The pathway to housing should be fair and equitable for everyone, and access to affordable housing is the infrastructure people in our communities need to elevate families into the working class and the middle class. It is the foundation that helps people support their families and contribute to their economies.
Raphael Warnock
Productivity depends on many factors, including our workforce’s knowledge and skills and the quantity and quality of the capital, technology, and infrastructure that they have to work with.
Janet Yellen
As a global carrier, we always have a positive view on investment in infrastructure that supports our industry.
Soren Skou
Infrastructure alone won’t end poverty. The World Bank had to learn this lesson, too. While we believed too much in bricks and mortar in our early days, we now understand that bringing together funding, technical expertise, and tested knowledge goes much further.
Sri Mulyani Indrawati
America used to be a uniquely productive, low-cost place to do business. We had efficient infrastructure. We had limited regulation. We believed in the market.
Michael Porter
We need a new Latin American policy that is bold – different. We need to focus on building civil society, focus on the lack of infrastructure. We need look at ways to foster economic opportunity. There needs to be a more comprehensive economic vision in the region.
Mel Martinez
If you take guys like Exequiel Bustillo, the architect who designed the early park infrastructure in Argentina, or the great American architects, these guys had a vision that thrust the national park idea into the public eye.
Douglas Tompkins
What I decided was I’d be happier not being in the confines of a corporate infrastructure producing music. That’s when I was free, and it opened up the door to have a different personality and incarnations. That’s really when I had success in my music life. I was able to license my music.
Fantastic Negrito
But, on balance, we seized the marketplace. We’ve got a great infrastructure. And yes it’s struggling in some areas because of some external factors and some internal factors.
Jim Cantalupo
I can’t apply $3 billion in capital to the tech industry. It wouldn’t work. But in infrastructure, education, I can make a real difference. I can change someone’s life, for the better, permanently. If I can improve a kid’s education, I can increase their salary later on and for decades.
Dustin Moskovitz
Microsoft does platform, not really infrastructure, and they do a little bit of Saas.
Safra A. Catz
I always felt that we don’t have dearth of beautiful locations in our country, but we still don’t have proper infrastructure. Because of that, most of the times, we are not able to reach those locations.
Satish Kaushik
As a former CIA case officer, I recognize that the rapid rise of firms like Huawei and ZTE presents a significant national security threat to the telecom infrastructure of the United States and our allies.
Abigail Spanberger
John Lewis walked across a bridge, in order to repair the infrastructure of our democracy. A bridge to the future.
Raphael Warnock
Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth. It improves access to basic services such as clean water and electricity, creates jobs and boosts business.
Alok Sharma
Democrats must adopt a progressive economic message that focuses on large, direct infrastructure investments, affordable health care, portable pensions, and public-private investments that promote advanced manufacturing.
Tim Ryan
I think that we’re trying to look at all of our assets and figure out what’s the best use and where we need to make investments in infrastructure to enable the projects that we want.
David Ige
By expanding the state’s EV infrastructure, PG&E is continuing to help California meet its climate goals while making it more convenient for our customers to choose clean, affordable electricity to fuel their vehicles.
Geisha Williams
Investment by any foreign company in any element of the U.K.’s Critical National Infrastructure should receive careful scrutiny.
Dominic Grieve
I’ll create public and private partnerhsips to rebuild our infrastructure.
Michelle Lujan Grisham
Well, the infrastructure part of the stimulus has worked. There’s absolutely no question about it. We can demonstrate in Pennsylvania and other states around the union how it’s produced good, paying jobs both on the construction sites and back in American factories. It has worked.
Ed Rendell
First of all, we have infrastructure as a service, which Amazon has; we have platform as a service, which Microsoft has; we have software as a service; we have applications. Nobody has everything except us. We also have data as a service.
Safra A. Catz
Education in India has made monumental progress since Independence but continues to face daunting challenges at multiple levels, particularly in terms of quality, infrastructure and dropout rates. We have islands of excellence floating in a sea of mediocrity.
Shashi Tharoor
Our government has made infrastructure upgrade and the creation of smart cities major national priorities.
Sushma Swaraj
Our huge infrastructure that we need for keeping cash is very expensive.
Arundhati Bhattacharya
People want to watch whatever video they want to watch whenever they want to watch. If you provision your Internet infrastructure adequately, you can do that.
Bill Gates
We’d realized in the first ten years we’d built an infrastructure competence deep in the stack – reliable, scalable cost effective data centers to grow the Amazon retail biz the way we needed to. But we’d built Amazon so quickly that a number of the pieces of the platform had become entangled.
Andy Jassy
I don’t agree with the way labels are set up. I don’t agree that anyone should sign 360 deals or sign away their publishing or take most of the infrastructure that’s included in a formal deal.
Chance The Rapper
What the mayors care about is, ‘How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint?’
Michael Nutter
I think Bill de Blasio is doing interesting housing stuff in New York, Rahm Emanuel is doing interesting stuff with the infrastructure bank in Chicago. I want to go to America to meet with and engage with American mayors.
Sadiq Khan
In the early 2000s, we were finding at Amazon that software development projects were taking us longer than we thought they should. We decided to build a set of infrastructure services to allow our retail business to move more quickly.
Andy Jassy
Responsive governments committed to improving the broader trade facilitation and business environment can help companies of all sizes by improving infrastructure: roads, transportation, ports, information and communication technology, and electricity.

The better off Indian can engage more deeply with political process to demand effectiveness from the institutions of the state. We can raise our voices for better education and healthcare, for better public infrastructure, for cleaner air.
Rohini Nilekani
I had attracted large investments into information technology and built infrastructure in Hyderabad, including India’s first greenfield airport, apart from attracting the country’s first private sector investments in power generation.
N. Chandrababu Naidu
When artists who are not associated with the typical infrastructure get recognition, that becomes a cultural movement.
Ryan Lewis
China, frankly, can be an opportunity for Africa based on the huge infrastructure deficit on the continent, but what needs to happen is that governments and citizens have to build internal ownership of the need of good governance, transparency, accountability, for respect for the environment.
Obiageli Ezekwesili
Through Duke Energy’s strong balance sheet and electric generation expertise, and Piedmont’s understanding of natural gas markets and proficient operations, the combined company will be well-positioned for a future that may require additional natural gas infrastructure and services to meet the needs of our customers.
Lynn Good
You look at public education system, charter schools, infrastructure, in so many ways New Orleans has come back stronger.
Drew Brees
Private sector has no issue in coming into infrastructure sector. They know very well that infrastructure is one area that can give you very steady long-term returns.
Arundhati Bhattacharya
The fact is, America needs energy and new energy infrastructure, and the Keystone XL pipeline will help us achieve that with good stewardship.
John Hoeven
If you’re in Alabama, you’re selling tax incentives – with all due respect to Alabama – because what else are you going to sell? In New Jersey, you’ve got location, public education, highly educated workforce, density, diversity, infrastructure.
Phil Murphy
Besides the devastating impact that the Ryan budget has directly on individuals, it does nothing to support job creation or our global competitiveness. Investments in both are drastically affected through cuts in funding for transportation and infrastructure projects, as well as funding for research and development.
Albio Sires
While the traditional banks and credit card companies lock down access to their payments infrastructure to a handful of trusted parties, Bitcoin is open to all.
Naval Ravikant
Historically, Kerala has been performing well on the social sector. Public health, education, and awareness have always been our core areas on which we built up our social infrastructure.
Pinarayi Vijayan
A devastating commentary on the war in Iraq is that we have been unable to spend money on infrastructure.
Chuck Schumer
Salmon recovery in the Northwest is a complex issue and requires a comprehensive regionwide effort. Dam removal is not the answer. It would have a devastating impact on our region’s energy and transportation infrastructure and may do little to even help salmon listed as threatened or endangered.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers
What would the infrastructure of the Internet look like if mass surveillance wasn’t its business model?
Trevor Paglen
The advantage of using airships in remote areas with little road infrastructure to support development is clear. Airships could ensure the delivery of humanitarian supplies to remote communities.
Jens Martin Skibsted
Cable is a dynamic and highly innovative industry, providing cutting edge services and content that Americans love. The broadband platform the industry has deployed is a critical part of the infrastructure needed to realize our national ambition to be a great nation in the Information Age.
Michael K. Powell
Tourism is a top priority activity for federal government, which is why it invests an average of over 2,500 million dollars a year in infrastructure works and integral projects that promote Mexico’s culture and natural attractions.
Vicente Fox
Everyone moans about the collapsing U.S. infrastructure.
James Fallows
Investing in vital infrastructure will help to build more sustainable, equitable economies.
Winnie Byanyima
A true infrastructure investment must include transforming our economy to handle the climate crisis, supporting care workers, reforming SSI, making child care universal, rebuilding our crumbling public schools, and much more.
Jamaal Bowman
I do not blame the government for not providing infrastructure to athletes. They have given everything for training of athletes.
Milkha Singh
We know businesses can’t compete without reliable infrastructure.
Gina Raimondo
Technology is the perfect refuge for African capability stifled elsewhere by badly run governments and years of misplaced foreign aid. Ubiquitous connectivity in a world without legacy infrastructure, together with the potential to learn coding or anything else online, has allowed technology entrepreneurship to flourish.
Ory Okolloh
Worldwide, enormous areas of peatland are still being lost to agricultural development, drainage schemes, overgrazing, and exploitation-based infrastructure development projects such as roads, electricity pylons, telephone masts and gas pipelines.
John Burnside
Investing in sewer and stormwater infrastructure is a top priority for my administration, because it’s good for both our environment and the economy.
Phil Scott
I was lucky to get good coaches and infrastructure that I needed. To become a champion, it is not just a few months’ practice: it takes years to make a champion.
P. V. Sindhu
Innovation must lead infrastructure for a simple but compelling reason: Innovation produces new types of products and markets, and it is virtually impossible to know how to run those markets efficiently before they are created.
Myron Scholes
Government should concentrate on building up infrastructure and skill development. Simplification of taxation is another important area.
Jamshyd Godrej
The long-term effects of privatising both rail and housing, aside from ensuring we live in a country of crumbling infrastructure (in contrast to mainland Europe), is one of diminished social and personal opportunities.
Dawn Foster
If we’re serious about our kids having a livable world, building fossil fuel infrastructure in 2018 is a sign of deep negligence, which is the kindest thing I can say about it.
Elizabeth May
What are the 10 major legacies that European colonization have left behind? Issues of illiteracy. Issues of ill health. Issues of poor infrastructure. Issues of backward agricultural economies. And it goes on.
Hilary Beckles
I do think the blockchain infrastructure is here to stay.
Lisa Su
We want to allow Costa Ricans to make a qualitative leap in our development and go to an economy based on innovation and developing a broadband infrastructure in order to overcome the barrier of 15 per cent penetration.
Laura Chinchilla
We need a national infrastructure bank to rebuild our crumbling highways and water and sewer systems, thereby putting additional people back to work.
Robert Reich
If someone thinks that education, health, infrastructure all are different sectors and issues and they ought to be fought independently, then they are mistaken. There is an underlying pattern in the process. And that is bad governance.
Arvind Kejriwal
Some infrastructure projects clearly require massive, coordinated investment – interstate highways or a new trans-Hudson tunnel, for instance. Others don’t have to. We should be unafraid of pilot projects and learning.
Cathy Engelbert
The best way to overcome joblessness is to create a social contract between the public and private sectors to provide decent jobs for the unemployed. The decaying infrastructure of our cities is in urgent need of repair and restoration.
Martin Luther King III
Charles and David Koch, two billionaire brothers, have been funding the infrastructure behind the Republican Party’s right-ward shift since at least 1980.
David Brock
The global boom in commodities fueled by a debt-financed infrastructure and real-estate bubble in China is over.
Kevin Brady
We have to face the fact that countries are going to lose jobs to robotics. The only question that needs to be answered is which country will create and own the best robotic technology and have the infrastructure necessary to enable it.
Mark Cuban
What America really needs is a long-term bill that makes significant investments in our transportation infrastructure and reforms the highway trust fund to ensure it remains solvent for years to come. This will require bold ideas and a bipartisan effort.
Mike Quigley
Visit any of the fastest growing parts of the world and you will find investment in infrastructure.
Chris Grayling
Americans understand that rising drug prices, wage stagnation and inadequate infrastructure affect everyone, regardless of race.
Ted Lieu
Back in the days when the market was a kind of secular god and all the world thrilled to behold the amazing powers of private capital, the idea of privatizing highways and airports and other bits of our transportation infrastructure made a certain kind of sense.
Thomas Frank
Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can’t use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, HIV/AIDS prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.
Bjorn Lomborg
Most larger companies now see that for the market to grow, Web infrastructure must be royalty-free.
Tim Berners-Lee
Our schools, like so many parts of our infrastructure, are crumbling across the country. Healing our schools can and should be central to our fight to achieve environmental, racial and economic justice.
Jamaal Bowman
If you can give away free music, you can give away free electricity, free water. Those tiny jabs at a larger infrastructure are what make revolutions.
Chance The Rapper
My vision for the future of social transportation is one that places more value on information and community over a physical product. Move over, multi-billion-dollar high-speed rail infrastructure and welcome, social information-based solutions.
John Zimmer
Infrastructure development is economic development.
Kay Ivey
Other than much needed infrastructure development, local administrations in Papua must encourage entrepreneurship and creativity.
Ciputra
By expanding the state’s EV infrastructure, PG&E is continuing to help California meet its climate goals while making it more convenient for our customers to choose clean, affordable electricity to fuel their vehicles.
Geisha Williams
Supplying food to sub-Saharan African countries is made very complex because of a lack of infrastructure.
Norman Borlaug
When you are in the infrastructure sector, you’ve to work along with the government.
Gautam Adani
In Iraq, I listened to David Petraeus speak every day about how we had to rebuild Iraq’s oil infrastructure and protect it. But, if we’re going to go trillions of dollars in debt over Iraq, why can’t we go billions of dollars in debt and make every single coal-producing plant clean in West Virginia?
Richard Ojeda
I think the most difficult thing had been scaling the infrastructure. Trying to support the response we had received from our users and the number of people that were interested in using the software.
Shawn Fanning
Infrastructure spending does not create immediate jobs, and more than half of those jobs will pull from the pool of the already employed.
Mark McKinnon
I don’t think people understand the awesomeness of the destruction of this country – its institutions, its infrastructure, its law, its morals.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
I think the wall is stupid; it’s a waste of the taxpayer’s money. We need the money for job growth, infrastructure, 100 other things… it sends a bad message.
Kirsten Gillibrand
I don’t agree with the way labels are set up. I don’t agree that anyone should sign 360 deals or sign away their publishing or take most of the infrastructure that’s included in a formal deal.
Chance The Rapper
India’s infrastructure deficit in terms of roads, railways, power, and ports needs to be addressed on a fast-track basis.
Piyush Goyal
It is true that Egypt’s attempt at democracy after the 2011 revolution encountered many obstacles in governance and infrastructure.
Ahmed Zewail
Two kids in their dorm room can’t start anything important in space today. That’s why I want to take the assets I have from Amazon and translate that into the heavy-lifting infrastructure that will allow the next generation to have dynamic entrepreneurialism in space, to build that transportation network.
Jeff Bezos
I think it’s really important to talk education, to talk infrastructure, to talk good jobs and the future of work.
Eric Garcetti
Markets – on their own – will not make investments in the technologies and infrastructure that would benefit an entire industry.
Brian Deese
Both the federal government and the states should go ahead and soak the rich to reduce inequality and raise money for health care, child care, infrastructure investment, education, decarbonization, and a thousand other priorities.
Annie Lowrey
Along with opportunities, there also exist many other tricky and complex issues to be managed in India. These include tackling both policy-level challenges and infrastructure challenges.
Gautam Adani
Obviously, overall infrastructure needs on the Southwest and Northern borders are mounting. We need a major push in Congress to remedy this.
Pete Domenici
Since I got to Washington I’ve been working to make sure the federal government is doing what’s needed to strengthen Georgia’s infrastructure and address supply chains issues impacting consumers and businesses across our state.
Raphael Warnock
Chronic deficits drastically reduce government’s ability to make those infrastructure investments that business needs to grow and create jobs.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
Fossil fuels are – they’re inherently centralized. And you need a lot of infrastructure to get them out, and you need a lot of infrastructure to transport it, as Obama was explaining in front of all that pipe, right? Whereas renewable energy is everywhere.
Naomi Klein
We had been busy building up fibre infrastructure under the ground in Hong Kong and underneath the homes of people, so when we launched IPTV, it was relatively smoother sailing than in other territories.
Richard Li
Portland doesn’t have the same kind of infrastructure that the national film hubs have. We struggle with that a little bit.
Travis Knight
Urban planning and design are helping us to shift from a car-centric system to a bike-centric one by making bicycles and bicycle infrastructure superior in functionality and attractiveness.
Jens Martin Skibsted
If you ask people why they move to the city, they always give the same reasons. They’ve come to get a job or follow their friends or to be at the center of a scene. That’s why we pay the high rent. Cities are all about the people, not the infrastructure.
Geoffrey West
Roosevelt’s New Deal regulated business, protected social welfare and promoted national infrastructure on the principle that the role of government was not simply to protect the property of the wealthy, but rather was to promote equality of opportunity for all.
Heather Cox Richardson
Secretary Clinton, right from day one, wants to do real investment in public works and infrastructure, building highways and bridges, building airports, to doing what we need to do that way which lifts the economy up, undoubtedly.
Sherrod Brown
Britain cannot afford to allow a culture of Left-wing-dominated, single-issue activism to hold back our country from investing in infrastructure and new sources of energy and from bringing down the cost of our welfare state.
Chris Grayling
One answer to transportation infrastructure funding is public-private partnerships.
Joe Sestak
Brightstar’s global infrastructure, deep wireless experience, and strong channel relationships makes it an optimal partner as we expand the global reach of Harman Lifestyle products and the Harman Kardon brand.
Dinesh Paliwal
Once you start looking into the infrastructure, it becomes obvious very quickly that 99 percent of the world’s information goes through little tubes under the ocean. Those are very juicy targets for someone who wants to surveil the world.
Trevor Paglen
As southeast Texas’s only Member of the House Transportation Committee, I’m especially proud of being able to help bring hundreds of millions of dollars to the region to create jobs and improve the area infrastructure.
Nick Lampson
If telecom are seen as a rightful infrastructure for the growth of many other sectors in the economy and the multiplier force, then I think it doesn’t deserve to be taxed so high.
Sunil Mittal
We will primarily focus on affordable housing, water supply and transport infrastructure, as these are critical for Mumbai. Infrastructure deficit is an issue in all urban areas.
Sharad Pawar
Inexpensive phones and pay-as-you go services are already spreading mobile phone technology to many parts of that world that never had a wired infrastructure.
Howard Rheingold
We may very well be faced with the choice of retaining the AAA credit rating or abandoning some of our key infrastructure projects, which are about jobs for the future. I will choose jobs in that equation every time.
Jay Weatherill
What’s happened is that an incessant, an insidious insurgency has repeatedly attacked the key infrastructure targets, reducing outputs.
Stuart Bowen
At a time when we have much work to do to address our Nation’s critical infrastructure, and, as I said, which is currently in dire need of upgrade and repair, this legislation is also a jobs bill and is obviously a jobs creator.
Howard Coble
As hurricanes Katrina and Rita raged through the southeastern United States last summer, much of America’s energy infrastructure based in the Gulf of Mexico was damaged or destroyed causing gas prices to soar.
Rick Renzi
It would be a matter of concern for government if intrusive data capture has been deployed against Indian citizens or government infrastructure.
Kapil Sibal
I know well the opportunities and the challenges of maintaining and improving infrastructure and providing good transportation choices.
Anthony Foxx
Stripe is building payment infrastructure for the Web, so we make it easy to accept credit cards online. Before Stripe, the way you’d do this is using the legacy banking structure. It was slow, it was complex, it was expensive. It had this very chilling effect on e-commerce.
John Collison
Attackers are able to amortize the cost of exploit, malware, and infrastructure development across many targets.
Alex Stamos
We changed the University of Houston in 23 short months more than anybody thought was possible. Not just from a wins and losses standpoint but from an infrastructure standpoint as well.
Tom Herman
We need to stop thinking about infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start thinking about it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce Bridges to Nowhere. Strategic investment in infrastructure produces a foundation for long-term growth.
Roger McNamee
When a country doesn’t have a good economic infrastructure, that harms the country. With Stripe, the idea is that by providing better infrastructure, by linking the Internet economically, by making it easier for these online businesses to exist, it’ll make the web better.
John Collison
I… now see a rare opportunity to push across the goal line much of the unfinished business of America: investing in our infrastructure and workers, universal healthcare, comprehensive immigration reform and scrubbing a tax code that’s out of shape and behind the times.
Xavier Becerra
While the traditional banks and credit card companies lock down access to their payments infrastructure to a handful of trusted parties, Bitcoin is open to all.
Naval Ravikant
There’s a belief that since Africa got a raw deal from the colonial West, then the Chinese must be Africa’s best friend. But the evidence doesn’t show that, and the main criticism is that they are building infrastructure in exchange for Africa’s resources in deals that are structured to favor China.
George Ayittey
Every year the progress of advanced capitalist society makes our population consist of more and more isolates. This is because of the infrastructure of the economy, especially electronic communications.
Mary Douglas
The infrastructure, institutions and social fabric of Venezuela are deteriorating, and people realize the Chavez government has been the problem, not the solution.
Leopoldo Lopez
I think we are smashing it as a government in terms of economic performance and infrastructure spend, but not everybody feels part of that success story.
Gladys Berejiklian
What charitable 1 percenters can’t do is assume responsibility – America’s national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.
Stephen King
Cash is not cheap. The physical infrastructure is not easy to maintain and cheap.
Arundhati Bhattacharya
I remain as committed as ever to working across party lines with anyone who believes we must invest in the future of our economy by revitalizing our transportation infrastructure, ensuring every child is getting a world class education, and spurring research and development of new technologies.
Jim Himes
Proponents of privatization argued that cities and states needed private capital to fund all the upgrades that our decaying infrastructure so desperately needed.
Bethany McLean
We are committed to doing trade, tax reform, infrastructure. All we need is someone that wants to work with us.
Kevin McCarthy
From the outset, the Obama administration has recognized that building a robust skills infrastructure means building strong partnerships with community colleges.
Tom Perez
Google is a global Rorschach test. We see in it what we want to see. Google has built an infrastructure that makes a lot of dreams closer to reality.
John Battelle
Infrastructure is the backbone of economic growth. It improves access to basic services such as clean water and electricity, creates jobs and boosts business.
Alok Sharma
I am really lucky that I got such good coaches and everything I wanted, right from the infrastructure to proper coaching.
P. V. Sindhu
To be sure, the United States has profound problems, not least our faltering educational and physical infrastructure.
Eric Liu
Enhancing revenues will help us improve education and solve our infrastructure problems.
Roy Barnes
When companies are trying to find a state to locate a new business or factory, they look at a number of factors – including tax structure, employment base, infrastructure, education system, etc.
Ronnie Musgrove
Physically robust infrastructure is not enough if it fails to foster a healthy community; ultimately, all infrastructure is social.
Pete Buttigieg
What I think is happening in China is that they are recognizing mobile infrastructure is actually a critical piece of national infrastructure.
Borje Ekholm
Regardless of the administration or who’s in Congress, when you look at the outcomes of what what’s been happening, there are opportunities for us to invest in infrastructure, to create more equity, to invest in new technologies, to create future – jobs focused on the future not industries from the past.
Doug McMillon
The government can build institutional infrastructure to address the paradox of floods and calamities in some parts of the country, and water scarcity in other parts.
Ram Nath Kovind
Another goal is to look to the resources we have and to see how we could do better to plan, in a sense, for the faculty and infrastructure that we will need to study Asia well into the 21st century.
William C. Kirby
I have stayed in homes that didn’t have basic infrastructure such as proper washrooms.
Roopa Ganguly
Well, the infrastructure part of the stimulus has worked. There’s absolutely no question about it. We can demonstrate in Pennsylvania and other states around the union how it’s produced good, paying jobs both on the construction sites and back in American factories. It has worked.
Ed Rendell
Many of the original New Deal programs required heavy manual labor. WPA workers built hundreds of schools, health clinics, roads, park facilities, and community centers. Much of what we now call our ‘infrastructure’ – highways, buildings, power plants, etc. – is here thanks to thousands of WPA workers.
Kathi Appelt
I believe in infrastructure, I believe in investing in your hard assets. Where I think government starts to fail is when it starts getting itself weighed down with the social programs. And I think the American public just feels like a lot of that money is tossed aside and wasted.
Mick Cornett
My staff has been working on structural fixes to equitably help disadvantaged areas – left wanting after decades of neglect – to become complete communities with the parks, infrastructure and amenities they deserve.
Kevin Faulconer
Simply put, some of our small towns need to modernize their infrastructure so that we can support efforts to grow the economy but lack the property tax base they need to fully fund these projects on their own.
Ned Lamont
Since the dawn of Louisiana’s modern-era film program in 2002, we have played host to more than $6 billion in film and TV production. We’ve developed an infrastructure that supports thousands of jobs, boosts small businesses and communities statewide, and provides a powerful impact that we seek to retain.
John Bel Edwards
Private enterprise cannot rebuild the nation’s infrastructure or keep our research institutions vibrant. Government must do what only it can do.
Richard Cohen
We need to continue our full support of the nascent Iraqi government by helping to rebuild their economic infrastructure and maintain security while training the Iraqi security forces.
Pat Roberts
The damage that climate change is causing and that will get worse if we fail to act goes beyond the hundreds of thousands of lives, homes and businesses lost, ecosystems destroyed, species driven to extinction, infrastructure smashed and people inconvenienced.
David Suzuki
After a generation of misrule under Mr. Hussein, who built a huge military infrastructure while neglecting civilian investment, and a dozen years of United Nations sanctions, Iraq’s unemployment rate tops 50 percent.
Alex Berenson
America is hungry and starving for more infrastructure investment.
Anthony Foxx
Mueller is the leading North American provider of water infrastructure and flow control products – things such as fire hydrants, valves, pipes, fittings, and couplings. While this is no doubt a mundane business, it is also an excellent one.
Whitney Tilson
We haven’t been out in many of these countries helping them build infrastructure. How would they look at us today if we had been there helping them with some of that, rather than just being the people who are going to bomb in Iraq and go to Afghanistan?
Patty Murray
As we visit Mars multiple times, we will build up infrastructure on the surface to expand the capabilities and reach of humans on Mars.
Ellen Stofan
These are important reforms. Infrastructure, education, health, hospitals, closing the gap with indigenous Australians. Also the Apology to the first Australians. As Prime Minister of the country I am proud of each and every one of these achievements.
Kevin Rudd
Let’s fix our roads, and be the state that’s not paralyzed by partisanship, but works together. And create the blueprint for rebuilding America’s crumbling infrastructure.
Gretchen Whitmer
For infrastructure technology, C will be hard to displace.
Dennis Ritchie
We have to repair our country’s infrastructure, but we also have to protect and repair the infrastructure of our democracy. It’s not either or, it’s both and.
Raphael Warnock
I am looking forward to partnering with the federal government, as well as the business leaders in our state, to address the serious challenges we face. From a budget crisis to crumbling infrastructure, we will get the job done right.
John Bel Edwards
We need to stop thinking about infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start thinking about it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce Bridges to Nowhere. Strategic investment in infrastructure produces a foundation for long-term growth.
Roger McNamee
It’s not all Obama’s fault: His plans to rebuild America’s energy infrastructure have been hampered by the recession, and his efforts on global warming have been stymied by Tea Party wackos and weak-kneed Democrats in Congress.
Jeff Goodell
Got to build that business base and then you can fund all the things people want: education, health care, strong law enforcement, roads, bridges, infrastructure – all those things flow from that economic base.
John Hoeven
Smart businesses do not look at labor costs alone anymore. They do look at market access, transportation, telecommunications infrastructure and the education and skill level of the workforce, the development of capital and the regulatory market.
Janet Napolitano
Algeria does not court tourism. It doesn’t need to. It has vast crude-oil resources, equal to Libya’s. Its infrastructure does not accommodate tourists, and there is precious little visitor information – hardly any in English.
Carol Drinkwater
There are problems with nursing – such as the issue of nurses all having to do degrees these days. But that doesn’t mean to say the entire infrastructure of nursing is falling about and that it is populated by unfeeling psychopaths, which is, frankly, the implication sometimes.
Jo Brand
The U.K. has to keep investing in new technology, skills, and infrastructure to keep pace with international competition.
Ridley Scott
Companies must put infrastructure in place to support their female employees and ensure that they receive the benefits of male and female leadership.
Whitney Wolfe Herd
The cloud presents a variety of new opportunities for Fortinet, ranging from how we leverage our own cloud-based technologies to make networks more secure, to actually developing the solutions that help secure the cloud infrastructure.
Ken Xie
We saw firsthand how a collapsed bridge in Skagit County impacted our local economy, which is why we must fix our infrastructure now before it’s more expensive to maintain in the future.
Suzan DelBene
The whole infrastructure of air travel was, and is, part of government policy. It is not a natural development of a free economic system – at least not in the way that is claimed. The same is true of the roads, of course.
Noam Chomsky
The United States needs a much more progressive tax-and-transfer infrastructure, given how dramatically inequality has increased. But not every single policy needs to be ideally progressive to achieve that goal.
Annie Lowrey
As a logistics entrepreneur who has created hundreds of American jobs, I will make sure the National Highway bill improves our infrastructure, while ensuring that products used and jobs created from this legislation are made in the U.S.A.
Mike Braun
Power plants are an infrastructure backbone that I want to be seriously involved in; this is because the country is rapidly developing and has high demand for electricity.
Edwin Soeryadjaya
We must invest in infrastructure development and rebuilding communities to create jobs.
Carol Moseley Braun
The Green New Deal for Public Schools represents the level of school infrastructure investment that is urgent and necessary to heal the harm from decades of disinvestment, redlining and cycles of poverty and trauma, particularly for Black and brown children.
Jamaal Bowman
China, frankly, can be an opportunity for Africa based on the huge infrastructure deficit on the continent, but what needs to happen is that governments and citizens have to build internal ownership of the need of good governance, transparency, accountability, for respect for the environment.
Obiageli Ezekwesili
Government must start to look at mobile infrastructure as a critical national resource and not just a resource for tax dollars.
Borje Ekholm
The true alpinist doesn’t want any infrastructure, he wants to go into the wild. And the odds of getting killed there are relatively high. And most people are sensible enough not to want that.
Reinhold Messner
I think we really need to update what we mean by infrastructure for the 21st century.
Brian Deese
There’s a very go-to kind of attitude in New Zealand that stems from that psyche of being quite isolated and not being able to rely on the rest of the world’s infrastructure.
Peter Jackson
A rising tide doesn’t raise people who don’t have a boat. We have to build the boat for them. We have to give them the basic infrastructure to rise with the tide.
Rahul Gandhi
Companies usually are not able to provision accurately the amount of data center capacity that they require, and this problem recurs when they create their own internal cloud infrastructure.
Andy Jassy
Isolated and unincorporated, North Gulfport lacked a basic infrastructure: flooding and contaminated drinking water were frequent problems. Although finally incorporated in 1994 – not long after the arrival of the first casino – many of North Gulfport’s streets still lack curbs, sidewalks, and gutters.
Natasha Trethewey
Yes, we need a substantial investment in our hard infrastructure like roads and bridges. But roads and bridges can’t serve people if they don’t have the child care they need in order to go to work or the health care they need to stay healthy and participate in the workforce.
Jamaal Bowman
With nearly 20 days until Iraq emerges as a free sovereign state for the first time in more than three decades, terrorists have increasingly targeted our country’s infrastructure.
Iyad Allawi
It should be a matter of pride for all of us that the taxes we pay are used for nation building – to help the poor and the marginalised, to build rural and urban infrastructure, and to strengthen our border defences.
Ram Nath Kovind
If you put stimulus into an economy, you know there is a time lag in terms of depending where you invest it. If it’s family transfers, it might be quick. If it’s infrastructure, it might be two, three, five years.
Sharan Burrow
We need to take bold action to invest in infrastructure projects to spur our economy and ensure that we are protecting good paying jobs.
Conor Lamb
A warming planet is destroying the country’s physical infrastructure: In 2019 alone, the United States experienced more than a dozen billion-dollar weather events, and 2020 might be worse.
Annie Lowrey
We do have some assistance from the World Bank but not from the IMF. We are not borrowing yet, but we are considering, in the future, borrowing from the Kuwait Fund to support our infrastructure development.
Jose Ramos-Horta
Bundling finance, energy solutions, water solutions, traffic infrastructure, and all general urban infrastructures is too much of an ask for most developing cities.
Jens Martin Skibsted
The bottom line is that the federal government is an important partner in addressing issues like funding our public schools, fixing our crumbling roads and infrastructure, protecting our natural resources and ensuring that healthcare is affordable and protects people with pre-existing conditions.
Tony Evers
Jesus of Nazareth was the most famous human being who ever lived on this planet, and he had no infrastructure, and it’s never been done. He had no government, no PR guy, no money, no structure. He had nothing, yet he became the most famous human being ever.
Bill O’Reilly
Blockchain technology represents a generational opportunity to mutualize database infrastructure across entities within financial services. What that translates into is an enormous cost-saving, risk-reducing, and capital-enhancing opportunity.
Blythe Masters
The military infrastructure grew me. My faith in God is important, my belief in my country is important, my relationship to my family is important, the things that Mom and Dad tell you growing up are important.
Tommy Franks
Besides taking jobs from American workers, illegal immigration creates huge economic burdens on our health care system, our education system, our criminal justice system, our environment, our infrastructure and our public safety.
Jan C. Ting
We believe that the infrastructure of our care economy is something to take very seriously.
Brian Deese
The First Step Act, the WEEE Act, and President Trump’s infrastructure and immigration compromise plans all serve as examples of Trump administration outreach to the Democrats.
Kayleigh McEnany
Seriously, we are in the midst of the convergence of voice and data and that is challenging the infrastructure of the telephone companies. There are huge commercial interests in the basic technology, but even more so in content delivery and control of content.
Steve Crocker
Without a holistic care infrastructure to support us, our economy and society simply cannot thrive.
Jamaal Bowman
The reality is that we have a weakened energy infrastructure, and anything above a Category 3 hurricane hitting Puerto Rico would be devastating towards that infrastructure.
Ricardo Rossello
I am instinctively a network infrastructure plumber.
Audrey MacLean
To get away from poverty, you need several things at the same time: school, health, and infrastructure – those are the public investments. And on the other side, you need market opportunities, information, employment, and human rights.
Hans Rosling
In terms of job creation, every billion dollars invested in the physical infrastructure creates 47,000 new jobs.
Bernie Sanders
As cities have grown rapidly across the nation, many have neglected infrastructure projects and paved over green spaces that once absorbed rainwater.
Charles Duhigg
As individuals and as a nation we have become dependent on a vast digital infrastructure. That, in turn, has made us vulnerable to cybercriminals and foreign adversaries that target that infrastructure.
William Barr
It is important that we continue to follow through on key investments in workforce development and infrastructure.
Mike Parson
Dubai’s world class physical infrastructure has already established it as a major player in terms of trade, tourism and as the leading conference and exhibition venue in this part of the world.
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
Investing in vital infrastructure will help to build more sustainable, equitable economies.
Winnie Byanyima
New Hampshire is proudly on the forefront of national safety infrastructure.
Chris Sununu
We knew that the largest consumers of infrastructure would be large enterprise because they spend more absolute dollars. But we also had a mental image of a college kid in his dorm room having the same access, the same scalability and same infrastructure costs as the largest businesses in the world.
Andy Jassy
Once Google is selected to run the infrastructure on which we are changing the world, Google will be there for ever. Democratic accountability will not be prevalent. You cannot file a public information request about Google.
Evgeny Morozov
A lot of our fiscal deficit went to fund consumption and really did not get used to build investment and infrastructure. The trouble is, you can get a spurt in GDP growth, which may not be sustainable. I would much rather build the gradient of a long-term marathon.
Uday Kotak

Ivan Krastev
The Postal Service’s unmatched ability to reach every household and business in America six days a week is a vital part of the nation’s infrastructure.
Joe Baca
There’s 20 companies that I have investments in – some batteries, some solar-thermal, one big nuclear thing. We need hundreds and hundreds of companies like that, so that in a 20-year time frame we really are starting to change the energy infrastructure.
Bill Gates
If the FBI gets the ‘back doors’ it wants, Internet services would be required to create a massive online infrastructure for law enforcement to spy on members of the public.
Adam Cohen

Now undoubtedly, we face some very British challenges when it comes to infrastructure. We rightly cherish our back yards and green spaces, and we’ll defend them passionately when projects are announced. We live in a democracy, and we like to debate these things, often for many years.
Evan Davis
First, our focus on security is on the infrastructure itself. So it is all about how you protect the network, the device, and the application that is riding on the server.
John W. Thompson
On the back end, software programming tools and Internet-based services make it easy to launch new global software-powered start-ups in many industries – without the need to invest in new infrastructure and train new employees.
Marc Andreessen
If I’d had a magic ejector seat when I went to Zaire, which is now the Democratic Republic of Congo, I would have pressed it multiple times. I felt totally out of my depth. I had no money and there was precious little infrastructure so I had to barter to survive.
Jeremy Wade
Our inability to govern ourselves at home, to deal with everything from infrastructure to our debt to tax policy, is reducing the appeal of the American model.

Jamais Cascio
When I look at cities now, I don’t see them in the present. This is the decaying infrastructure of our existing cities. Years from now, none of this is going to be here. New cities are going to rise.
Shervin Pishevar
We’re hyper-focused on providing the business infrastructure to allow creators to be successful in growing and running their businesses.
Jack Conte
Africa is not for the weak-hearted: infrastructure issues are there. The middle class is absent in most of the countries. We have to cater to the low end of the market to grow.
Sunil Mittal
Building infrastructure is our most powerful tool to create jobs and improve the playing field for all businesses.
Conor Lamb
Our commitment to defence goes beyond this. It’s a long-term commitment to make SA the home for Australian defence. It’s a commitment to providing the right infrastructure and the right people.

What mothers need, as well as fathers, spouses, and the children of aging parents, is an entire national infrastructure of care, every bit as important as the physical infrastructure of roads, bridges, tunnels, broadband, parks and public works.
Anne-Marie Slaughter
It is interesting that cyberwarfare is developing into something conventional and attacking objects, infrastructure, and critical services.
Kersti Kaljulaid
The state of Alabama is serious about economic development, and we have shown that the Mobile region has a skilled workforce that is developing every day, strong infrastructure, and an abundance of natural resources.

I don’t think people understand the awesomeness of the destruction of this country – its institutions, its infrastructure, its law, its morals.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
I look forward to working with the White House in areas like infrastructure, where President Trump says he wants to spend a trillion dollars. Great – we’d love to start right here in Los Angeles.
Eric Garcetti
As mayor, my New Deal for New York will be a massive infrastructure, stimulus, and jobs program consisting of a $10 billion investment.
Maya Wiley
The infrastructure we provide is the same in a remote town in Africa or New York or an archipelago in Sweden: we use the same system, and the chips inside the phone are the same.
Hans Vestberg
Illinois has every reason to succeed. We have the hardest-working people in America, the best infrastructure in America, and the best location of any state.
Bruce Rauner
A major attack on our cyber systems could shut down our critical infrastructure – financial systems, communications systems, electric grids, power plants, water treatment centers, transportation systems and refineries – that allows us to run our economy and protect the safety of Americans.
Dan Coats
Building infrastructure is our most powerful tool to create jobs and improve the playing field for all businesses.
Conor Lamb
With an investment in our state’s energy infrastructure to capture methane, we will create jobs, increase revenue for our schools, and protect the health of workers and communities, all while reducing harmful emissions that are contributing to climate change.
Michelle Lujan Grisham
The infrastructure of the US is a long-term suspension of disbelief that such things won’t be exploded deliberately by people who don’t create anything.
Dave Winer
In analyzing what made the Golden Century of 1870 to 1970 possible, it becomes clear that four physical infrastructure technologies provided the underlying foundation for growth: energy, transportation, health and sanitation, and communication.
Rajeev Suri
Our infrastructure in America, once the envy of the world, is losing its battle against time, growth, weather, and wear.
Tom Malinowski
We want enough people adopting Bitcoin for a robust infrastructure. It’s an act of patriotism. It gives the country a robust parallel system.
Patrick M. Byrne
Our nation’s vital infrastructure – such as power grids and transportation hubs – becomes more vulnerable when individual devices get hacked. Criminals and terrorists who want to infiltrate systems and disrupt sensitive networks may start their attacks through access to just one person’s smartphone.
Craig Federighi
Many people say that in a liberalised world there is little for the government to do, but the fact is that there is much for the government to do in fewer areas. One such area is to provide infrastructure.
Ajay Piramal

Ruben Hinojosa
Those in the metro-Atlanta area know how crucial the investments in our infrastructure and transportation systems are to improving our communities.
Lucy McBath
Our European neighbours in France have invested in their infrastructure early and are now reaping the rewards later. This is because wherever high-speed rail has been built between the major cities and economic centres of a country – as in HS2 – it has exceeded demand forecasts.
Andrew Adonis, Baron Adonis
Further, Japan is the second largest donor in Iraq after the United States, with over $5 billion dollars for humanitarian, infrastructure and reconstruction projects.

Evan Davis
I know we can find a bipartisan response to pressing challenges – like repairing, modernizing and adding to the infrastructure on which we all rely. I know it because I’ve seen it happen in my own state of Minnesota.
Amy Klobuchar

Pinarayi Vijayan
To those who say Britain cannot afford to invest in infrastructure, I say we cannot afford not to invest in our future.
Philip Hammond
