Before walking me through all the details of the massive jobs plan, President Biden

laid out last week, I asked Slate's Jordan Weisman to do something a little different.

I asked him to take me two decades in the future and tell me what the world around us could

In 20 years, let's close our eyes and imagine.

In 20 years from now, you are in your electric vehicle, which you don't have to worry about

charging because there will be charges all over the country.

At any gas station or rest stop, you'll be able to charge your car.

When you are riding to work on a highway that is actually fixed, you don't have to worry

about traffic congestion so much because our highways have been fixed up and modernized

and bridges have been repaired so you don't have orange cones everywhere holding up the

morning commute.

You don't longer have to worry about whether or not your kids are getting poisoned by

your tap water because we've taken out and replaced all the lead pipes, which is good.

Okay, this vision is making me realize what a hellscape we currently live in.

Some people have called Biden's American Jobs Plan, an Infrastructure Bill, and it does

fund roads and bridges, the electrical grid and water pipes.

But in a few weeks, the second half of this plan is going to be released, the American

Families Plan, and together the ideas inside these plans aim to redefine what infrastructure

is.

They're looking to bolster human infrastructure along with everything else.
