This crisis - and one need look no further than the I-35W bridge collapse in Minnesota to see that it is indeed a crisis - shows little sign of abating short of a massive change in attitude amongst politicians and the American public.

America had changed with the passage of the 28th amendment, and Dan Silver was not a man to be left behind. 2041 was the year of the great migration. It seemed that half the country was on the road, with each traveler chasing a dream.
