I saw an article that the design engineers responsible for the Miami collapse were all womyn. I saved the link; but it’s been scrubbed from the web. Doesn’t fit the narrative. And ain’t I a woman? But when I cross a bridge or drive under a bridge, I want it to stand.
You are correct...and it was not their first awful failure....the website talks about bridges as art. Seriously. Someone should be looking at the contract award....
I don’t blame the women per sé. There are and have been many competent, even stellar women in the sciences and engineering. I DO blame a PC culture that rewards contracts based on XX participation and PR viability.
Which got totally destroyed by this Charlie Foxtrot and did incalculable damage to the competent women in and entering those fields.
To all of those out there who want to carry the PC sword into battle; Be advised: it’s double edged!
“I saw an article that the design engineers responsible for the Miami collapse were all womyn.”
We have great women engineers of great talent. Something much deeper was at fault in awarding this contract to this particular group of engineers. Their engineering was most evidently very bad, their bridge fell down. I myself suspect political correctness and with absolutely no factual basis for this opinion.
I have worked in the medical sciences and the oilfield with women of great talent. I respect them. However if any contract is given that considers sex, race or religion one has already accepted to award the contract to an inferior bidder.
