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.

For what it’s worth, Zanesville Ohio has what they call a Y bridge with a turn in the middle.

Raj Subramaniam is now president of FedEx. If you are a white American, there is no need to apply for an IT job there. He is doing everything he can to only hire Indians for IT at FedEx. And the Indians he hires hate America and Americans. But nobody is allowed to point this out.
There is a huge difference between a software developer and a civil engineer who must be licensed to practice in the U.S. before designing an idiotic bridge like this one.
Its already starting to collapse!
I did 26 years in acft maintenance with them. We had great white and Hispanic it help.
I see a power struggle between him and Richard Smith. I hope Richard wins. He came across as a good guy when I met him.
Here’s the other bridge from the best & brightest:
