It’s Infrastructure Week on Ren Fem, y’all, so let’s get into it -- what infrastructure is, why we need to invest in it, and the racist, sexist implications of it when the right folks aren’t at the drafting table. We’ll help you contextualize Biden’s Infrastructure bill in a historic context alongside the New Deal and the Works Progress Administration, and then State Senator and civil engineer Ann Johnson Stewart joins us to talk through what infrastructure investments the MN Legislature is making -- and what stupid hills the GOP is prepared to die on (possibly literally, seeing as how they tend to be climate-related). Plus: fun rabbit holes about sexist Swedish snowplowing and a dive into the racist AF history of the I-94 highway construction.
