Didn't DeSantis build some bridges in a few weeks? Maybe they could put him in charge.

I'm no engineer, but the way that bridge just crumbled didn't seem quite right.

DeSantis is a lawyer, so hell no.

It went down about the way you would have if you had your legs knocked out from beneath you by a ship.

Need to look for the man on the grassy knob. That thing looked like it got hit by a 6.5 to me

I bet it was an inside job. Those workers have been there for weeks strategically placing explosives on all the supports. It was GW. I’m convinced.

GW is an A-hole for sure, but anyone who doesn’t believe that a ship x couldn’t be attacked at a critical time is probably a conspiracy theorist.

Libertarians think the government should be small and limited in scope, not non-existent.

Seeing how Rand Paul votes, I would say you want it there when you need it, while favoring personal responsibility for your neighbor.

How the fck do you think you know what I want?

@SAJ-99

What is a better outcome in this situation?

1. US taxpayers pay to replace the bridge that Maersk destroyed while also killing several human beings.

-or-

2. Maersk paying to replace the bridge Maersk destroyed while also killing several human beings.

I know which one AOC would choose, but I'm not stupid enough to presume that because you're a liberal you'd do the same thing as her.

Wow. And I was feeling ashamed of myself for my recent behavior on the forum. But I get it now

Well, if Buzz likes it, more due diligence is needed, cause nohomo, or something like that.

I'm not suggesting it was planned as some here are assuming. Just seems weird that the entire bridge would go down. I would have assumed a bridge that big in that busy of a port would have been designed with a potential collision in mind. Most things are built for worst case scenario. Especially fed and gov things like this. At least around here they are.

I'm pretty sure this bridge pre-dates when vessel collision forces (certainly those of this magnitude) were included in the design code. I don't know what would've been included for it, but it certainly wouldn't have been designed by today's standards.
