close call who would put him to sleep more, Micah or MM..sounds like the driver was listening to Micah's podcast. ..
Is this confirmed? What was their reasoning?still shocked that the insurance company for the owners of the ship are not paying for this; instead the taxpayers as always get the shaft.
The US Government has said the taxpayers will foot the entire billIs this confirmed? What was their reasoning?
So almost 5 years all in to build a bridge. We are definitely not near our peak playing shape. During WWII the US produced 205 planes, armored vehicles 68 and ships 3 PER DAY! Hell, China has built the world’s longest bridge in 4 years, 9 miles over water and 93 miles over land. Someone needs to crack the whip on the project!I just read that the contract for the bridge re-build has been executed. Work will commence in 2025 with an estimated completion date in mid-2028. The estimated costs are $1.5 billion
But what's the quality of China's bridge? They tend to skimp a lot.So almost 5 years all in to build a bridge. We are definitely not near our peak playing shape.

I certainly wouldn't drive on that bridge.But what's the quality of China's bridge? They tend to skimp a lot.
That is definitely the narrative No doubt. If their quality is so bad then why are we adding 100% tariffs to their EV’s that are super cheap. Evidently according to reviews they are pretty dam good. Seems lately we are afraid of competition. As most people know competition brings out the best in everyone.But what's the quality of China's bridge? They tend to skimp a lot.
All western countries drown in bureaucracy, overblown Planning procedures, high standards for Occupational safety measures and work time restrictions. While they aren't necessarily all bad things, they make you slow.So almost 5 years all in to build a bridge. We are definitely not near our peak playing shape.

It took 5 years to build the Hoover dam in the 30's, and it took twice as long to build the visitor center. It was completed in 1995. The amount of bureaucracy and laws/regulations you have to go through to do any kind of project for the government is mind numbing. I speak of 20+ years as a project manager and my customers were 95% government projects. I had to deal with it everyday.So almost 5 years all in to build a bridge.

You're talking non union work forces. Us union guys have two speeds, slow and off.So almost 5 years all in to build a bridge. We are definitely not near our peak playing shape.
