Congress recently approved a supposed "real" infrastructure bill that is close to 2 Trillion (along with other bloated stuff in it).
Get to it!
Yeah, but I'm retired five years from the public infrastructure world and I remember seeing those lists of fracture critical bridges years before that. I suppose better late than never.
Of course there is bloated stuff in it! Politicians aren't going to actually approve bills if there's not something there that will help get them re-elected. Do you think our reps are there to do what is in the best interests of the people or something?
Plenty of things to blame on Biden. This aint one of them.
It is a symbol of Biden's destruction of America!!!!!!!!!!!!
A perfect symbol!
biden is to blame along with buttegeig and legislators who passed a infrastructure bill which spends 7% on infrastructure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the rest on non infrastructure, unless you are high on drugs and think climate change, social justice, home care, etc is infrastructure.
Infrastructure all over America has been crumbling. Anyone remember the I-35 W bridge in Minneapolis, MN collapsing in 2007? I don't recall anyone blaming Bush Jr for that. The Hoan Bridge collapse in Milwaukee in December 2000? Clinton was still in office. The Bay Bridge collapse in 2009? Obama was President then. I-85 bridge fire/collapse in Atlanta, March 2017. Trump was in office for 2 months at that point.
Infrastructure failures are nothing new in America. We have alot of infrastructure that hasn't been updated. Pittsburgh, which has lost alot of people since 1960, likely has more infrastructure issues that just that bridge.

This post is a symbol of the decline and destruction of the American mind.

$1.6 Billion of the Infrastructure Bill is earmarked for PA bridge repair and replacement. Only one PA Republican voted for the bill and he has been threatened with being primaried for doing so. It is safe to say that Pennsylvania Republicans are OK with what just happened and bridges filled with cars and busses collapsing and killing PA residents.

Safe bridges are much further down on the priority list.
