There's a bigger picture than just cheaper labor. I talked to a state bridge engineer a few days ago and he mentioned something in passing that stuck. "We can't build the infrastructure in the present that we did in the past." The cost of doing things in the US has risen from other things and not just unions or high priced professional salaries.

It's not going to be pretty.

OH, my!

Do you mean they will actually build the bridges in Singapore, for example and just haul it over for installation?

Isn't that just amazing!

I am positively in awe. Of course, that will save billions in labor costs.

Just one small detail, however. Where will they find the plane big enough to fly it into place?

Merely curious, Mr. Meatloaf. */:^ )
