And with traffic violations not being enforced, that’s gonna be another loss in revenue. Gotta make it up somewhere.

Maybe just not rebuild it?

I am starting to wonder about all our bridges. Maybe we could actually be fiscally responsible for a change and just let it go. Why do we need it?

Our city was build for 2X more people than we have now. We used to be 600K strong, now we are 1/2 that. Why rebuild the bridge? Just close the street down. So it takes a few minutes more to get to work. So what?

Fiscal responsibility is in order. Prove me wrong.

I have a better idea. Make it a mountain bike and parkour course. It will be one of the most progressive ideas this city ever had. Maybe we can install a blow up rubber ducky at the bottom of the ravine.

I think we should just leave the wreckage and memorialize it with a Trump flag in the center. It collapsed much like his presidency did.

You’ve obviously been ignoring the last 12 months, but a because Trump flag is an excellent idea

He had an opportunity to deliver it but couldn’t pull it across the finish line. Even with total control of house and senate. Broken campaign promise. All lies…

A blessing in disguise, and as I predicted, Sleepy Joe makes for great tv. Folks have seen the repercussions of voting with hurt feelings as we’re seeing with plummeting approval ratings, skyrocketing inflation, Afghan debacle, border crisis, etc… Unfortunately, many folks have to learn the hard way…but midterms will be excellent.

On the bright side, Sleepy Joe is going to fix every Pittsburgh bridge, lol.

Don't worry. He'll get a war going with Russia or China or both, and when he does, all those other problems will fade away in importance.

His wings can’t get clipped soon enough, but at least there’s no mean tweets, lol.
