to talk about Infrastructure.

Coincidence?

quote:

Asked about the collapse coming the same day of the President's visit, Fetterman, a Democrat, said, "This is a horrible way to underscore just how critical our infrastructure needs are in this country."

Could be a coincidence. Imagine if he were to come to Lake Charles to talk about infrastructure and the interstate bridge collapses right before. Everyone around here who knows how shitty that bridge is would say “well, that was bound to happen” while the rest of the country would talk about conspiracy theories.

Or maybe the feds intentionally did that to bolster support so he could finally get something significant passed before the midterms.

Sounds like the plot on an episode of Veep.

They're still building roads they authorized in 1991
If they want shite built and repaired, they're going to have to look at the state corruption and unions. Of course, that will never happen

Things like this wouldn't happen if we could just do away with the bridge load requirements and get our shipping back on track.

How strange, much like politicians buying stock in pharmaceutical companies right before a “crisis” comes up.

Definitely just random coincidence.

The infrastructure bill isn’t be held up because of addressing infrastructure. It’s other shite in it.

That said, we desperately need to address transportation infrastructure in this country. Roads and bridges are not in great shape.

I read somewhere that Pittsburgh has more bridges than any other city in America.

Having been there I feel its pretty likely.

That's my hometown. If you've ever been to Pittsburgh, you know the roads are shitty. And that includes the bridges. This bridge is east of downtown in Frick Park. About 3 blocks from Carnegie Mellon University.

That is correct sir.

It is the City of Bridges.

It's also the biggest city in Appalachia.

Dr. Campbell used to spend the summer in Maine and drive to Baton Rouge for the fall semester.

He said the worst roads were Louisiana and Pennsylvania.

It's a confusing city to navigate and it seems like there is always road construction everywhere.
