True, “Galloping Gertie”, the infamous, disastrously collapsed Tacoma Narrows suspension bridge was a great triumph of “non-rigorous” engineering. May we have many more.
Of course when the bridge collapses, the Democrats will just blame it on Republican Budget Cuts.
It’s really all very simple. Screw rigor. You take your funding, hire it out to the general contractor with the lowest bid. You pocket the difference you saved by low balling. The bridge gets built. If it collapses, you shoot the general. Same with the military. Same with your health.
