I did want to spend a bit of time in my reply on this Budget appropriations bill speech because we cannot underestimate the infrastructure that these types of jobs are providing, including in our regions, where, yes, for some decades, if not centuries, we have neglected to see the potential for how our regions and our rural communities—which I have had the privilege of growing up in and belonging to—could actually be leading a modern response, a modern economy, a response to be able to help us all to confront the massive crises of climate change, environmental degradation, and inequality. It can absolutely come from the leadership and the enduring solutions that our people in our regions and our rural communities have long understood and know best about what their places are able to offer.
