We’ve got a story for you—and it’s a cautionary tale about what happens when diversity quotas and outsourcing take priority over excellence and good old-fashioned common sense.
No, this didn’t happen in the US, but it absolutely matters here. Because this is the kind of foreign labor we’re importing, and that should concern every single American. In India, seven engineers were just suspended after designing a $2.3 million bridge with a deadly 90-degree turn. This structural disaster has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. The project took over a decade to finish and was meant to improve transportation for 300,000 commuters. Instead, it became the “poster bridge” for what not to do when building public infrastructure.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Some corners need cutting.
The reason why FedEx does not work as reliably as it once did is because the Indians who control the IT systems have been feuding with the “white American guys” who actually do the delivery part, for several years now.
But, but, but, they work cheap.
‘I’m beginning to believe that Americans don’t want to work!
They’ve become lazy by watching too many government workers and elected idiots sitting on their banksides!
There are exceptions, however. Mostly Trump voters.
It’s going to be hard not to fall off when seated on the bus tops when they make that turn
I read it is a RAILROAD bridge, believe it or not!
If your let the supply and demand of the marketplace run freely without gov’t interference, the voluntary cooperation between the self interests of buyers and sellers will end up with the best quality at the best price.
As with every other technological advancement, there may need to be be some re-training, but there will always be a need for the replaced workforce if not to manage the AI product, then in some other niche AI has created.
There are talented Asian Indian technical people, but it takes more than looking at a diploma or college transcript to recognize them.
When I was young, I never encountered any. However, I have since encountered quite a number of them.
The Boeing 737 MAX crashes, that killed 346 people, were because of the “Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS)” flight control system. That computer system was written by a large group of Indian programmers hired by Boeing. You don’t know this, because your not supposed to know this.
It's been rare that I was impressed by the response from H1B applicant. Almost all of the time their answer seemed no more complicated than my sophomore level training. (Though I have worked with some who were brilliant.)
“In India, seven engineers were just suspended after designing a $2.3 million bridge with a deadly 90-degree turn.” I wonder where that bridge led to?
It should be called Bhopal’s AssBag Bridge.
It’s in Bhopal
Hilarious
Now the disasters are indigenous
Instead of posting a 6 and a half minute video just showing basically the same shot of the bridge, with no one or no vehicle traveling on it, why not explain and show why it’s so dangerous?
“A 90 mile skid on a 10 mile ride/hot as a pistol but cool inside...’’’
They loathe going out in the field and actually performing field observations, much less physical labor (their caste thinks that's below them).
Subcontinent employment services always ask you how much you want to make, instead of saying what salary they recommend. That's because they have H1B's willing to work for 30-40% of native-born Americans (including Indian-Americans and Nepali-Americans).
The name “Bhopal” might ring a bell for some. In 1984, half a million people were exposed to toxic gas released from the Union Carbide India Limited plant in Bhopal. Maybe these were the same engineers.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have openly advocated for bringing in ‘skilled’ workers from different countries to replace American workers.
