It gets worse if we find out it’s made in China.

Kind of like the new Bay Bridge in Oakland too.

It’ll fall down soon.

Or as we say in the IT world, "That's not a bug, that's a feature."

Reminds me of the "galloping" bridge that ran between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, MS pre-Katrina. Some engineers noted that the spans of concrete tended to sag in the middle after a time of heavy use. They decided to "play the sag" by humping the concrete spans so that when they sagged, they would end up flat. Decades later, the humps were still there and it could make a weak stomach seasick going over it, especially in the heat of Summer when the expansion would increase the humps. Katrina did us a favor when she took that bridge out.
