At least six people were hurt when a pedestrian bridge crashed down onto a freeway in northwest Washington, DC, around noon on Wednesday, according to reports.

This could have been some act of sabotage, just to try to illustrate the need for “infrastructure” spending. I am sure the FBI will investigate immediately! (/s)

That doesn’t fall under the definition of infrastructure.

Expect more of these sorts of incidents as American society and culture continue downward. And those bogus multi-trillion-dollar “infrastructure” bills won’t do a damn thing to improve the situation.

Hopefully they didn’t try to use any of that racist math when they did the bridge design.

the problem with infrastructure spending is that the spending is diverted to other things

We’ve got plenty of money to spend on illegals, though.
