@nytimes If it was me, I probably would have noted that Edward Glaeser is a senior fellow at the right-wing Manhattan Institute, but giving readers that kind of context might make them wonder why this article even exists. 
Car charging stations are tangible. Water pipes are tangible. Broadband is tangible!

*Of freaking course* electric car charging stations and water pipes and broadband are infrastructure.
*Of freaking course* “infrastructure” does not mean simply “roads.” If it did, we wouldn’t need the word “infrastructure,” we would simply say “roads.”
Stop being dumb.

What does the New York Times think an electric vehicle charger is if not "tangible"? A state of mind? A vibe?
this "infrastructure" bullshit is still going on because no matter how much facts, logic, and the American people reject the bullshit right-wing fiction that only roads count as infrastructure, news companies like Politico keep peddling it.

Politico claims it is a "contortion" to classify broadband as infrastructure, to which I would simply ask whether Politico could've published this bullshit without broadband? (screenshot via @murshedz )
oh so broadband and drinking water are infrastructure after all, as we all knew all along, even if a bunch of reporters decided to play along with GOP bullshit about it.
