INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCE

The managment class hates to spend money on infrastructure repair and maintenance. How do I know this? I spent 20 years of my life working on essential mechanical-electrical equipment for a government agency. The most difficult part of the job was not  maintenance, repair and trouble-shooting the equipment. The greatest difficulty was convincing managment to provide funds for the maintenance and repair of the equipment. These folks would much prefer to build themselves bigger and fancier offices than to "waste" taxpayers money on important equipment.
