    How can the recent dam failures in Appalachia be traced back to negligence and misplaced priorities? We explore this pressing question with our guest, Lydia Lopinto, who brings a wealth of insight from her personal experiences with Hurricane Sandy. Lydia has crafted a free e-book designed to support those affected by these disasters, helping them navigate the often-tangled web of government assistance and emphasizing the critical need for flood insurance. She argues passionately about the lack of attention to domestic infrastructure and criticizes the prioritization of international aid over vital home-front investments. Lydia also calls out conspiracy theories, firmly rooting the cause of the disaster in negligence rather than any intentional act.

    We don't shy away from the tough conversations in this episode, as Lydia voices her concerns over recent board appointments by President Biden, questioning whether these individuals possess the necessary experience to prioritize and manage essential infrastructure projects effectively. With frustration, she highlights the imbalance in focus towards international initiatives, urging for a shift that ensures robust infrastructure support within the U.S. Our discussion aims to ignite awareness and advocacy, with Lydia sharing her hopes for congressional investigations and change through social media and future publications. This episode is a clarion call for action, aiming to spotlight the urgent need for better policies and practices in maintaining our nation's infrastructure.
