How about it. Maybe someday a president will actually be able to pass a meaningful infrastructure bill. In the meantime I may denude a piece of hillside behind us and install solar panels.

I'm not surprised POTS is still working. In my IT circles, POTS is considered ol' reliable. This is part of the reason why I still have POTS/land line service. Make fun of it all you want but it's shown to be very reliable. When I had my major outages, Comcast was dead yet my Verizon POTS service was still ticking.
It goes beyond the President in getting a proper electrical infrastructure in place in this country. It goes all the way down to the grass roots. There have been battles by neighbors/communities with the NIMBY attitude for various reasons.
