   I doubt it. State whatever razor about incompetence vs malice.
   
   My dad always wanted to move back home after he retired; talked about it a lot. After my mom passed, he had flown back and told me the air was unfit to breath, the water unsafe to drink and a flat near his brother would be $4m USD in Delhi. My sister visited a few years later and said dad was exaggerating and it wasn't that bad, but I think she overlooks the severity of some things.
   
   India is a state rife with corruption; an entire nation of "contractor" work ethic where every step forward in infrastructure is piled upon decades of technical debt. If you want to see a democratic nation with no singular cultural identity and failing infrastructure, one only needs to look at India. If you walk through the halls of Red Fort and see the ancient weaponry, architecture, you see what it could have been juxtaposed to the receding and horrifically polluted Ganges river.
   
   Americans don't realize this is what could easily happen to our infrastructure if the growing corruption in our federal and state authorities isn't reigned in.

     @nike @PinochetsCommieCopter That is, if they don't set it on fire intentionally.

     Where i live the city's goverment sets the landfill on fire every spme years for a variety of reasons, first to get "disaster relief" money and second because it is way cheaper to set the landfill on fire than properly dealing withthe trash in the way that the environment ministry wants.

     Delhi becoming India's Centralia would be a global catastrophe. The sudden displacement of 10s of millions pajeets would throw world in crisis. Such a figure makes Raspail look like an optimist.
     
     Unironically, if tomorrow the US government announced that the $60 billion of new foreign aid would now be used to fight this fire & ensure Delhi remains habitable instead of going to Ukraine, I would be relieved.
