Water has been poisoned with lead for months.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Toledo, Ohio without water now for a second day.

Wildfires are scorching the west coast.

The whole town was out of water.

The showers, cooking food, the children dressing their teeth, you know, simple things to take for granted.

That's another hiccup that we are facing money.

Once in a generation investment in America will create millions of jobs, it's bold yes, and we can get it done.

From today's bill to tomorrow's jobs, we're looking for the government at work.

In our tap water, light switches, bridges and broadband.

You're listening to Pantsuit Politics Summer Series.

Infrastructure in real life.

Hello and thank you so much for joining us for Pantsuit Politics Summer Series on Infrastructure.

We are delighted to be here with you.

If you don't know who we are, we are Sarah and Beth.

We sit down together twice every week as citizens to process the news.

We do something a little different in July though, where we step back and work for most of the year preparing to discuss one particular topic.

And this year that topic is infrastructure.

In this summer series, we're tackling the past, present and future of what we traditionally think of when we think of infrastructure, roads, bridges, the electrical grid, as well as pushing ourselves to see emerging infrastructure like broadband and childcare more clearly.

Now you may have heard that there is a massive new infrastructure plan before Congress, but this series isn't really about the politics of that plan.

It's about how we interact with infrastructure as citizens. It's about getting curious about the infrastructure all around us and what it takes to build, maintain and modernize that infrastructure.

And it's about seeing the government at work when you pass a fire hydrant or you drive over a bridge or you turn on your faucet.

Thinking about who fixes the potholes and how and why the light switch is reliable.
