Today, the bipartisan $1 trillion infrastructure bill was passed in the senate with a 69-30 vote.
The bill includes $110 billion for new roads and bridges, $73 billion for electric grid upgrades, $66 billion for rail and Amtrak, and $65 billion for broadband expansion. $55 billion will be for clean drinking water and $39 billion for transit.
The bill was hotly contested in the senate earlier this month, with Republicans and Democrats very critical over the wording of the bill with Democrats making up the brunt of the support.
Many were concerned over the specifics of the infrastructure bill as it pertains to cryptocurrency, with many cryptocurrency aficionados worried about what the tax situation might look like to the digital market.

This bill is designed to take out owner operators and implement a fleet in large companies…D.O.T has become their own Government and this will be the new way of life as they get a good portion of it.. Hope the Automation trucks work out for them after we all go get different jobs✌️
