Remember how Congress passed that bUiLd bAcK bEttEr infrastructure bill that was supposed to overhaul all our aging roads and bridges?
I haven't seen a lot of rebuilt things, but I have seen a lot of politicians getting richer.

One of the highlights of Pete Wilson’s otherwise lackluster tenure.
I’ll drink to that! 🥂
Anyone have a picture of the new temp bridge?
The article can’t load the “After” picture from Twitter.
Now let’s get the Sanibel causeway done.
Must have used precast because concrete needs to cure …and probably had it siting around..
By contrast, Putin will probably hire contractors from the Congo to repair bridges in his temporary conquests.
DeSantis could mop the floor with Putin - and with Biden... Now DeSantis is taking on the bridge to Sanibel... a place 'the networks' said could take 'years' to rebuild.
I’m reminded of the demagogue Carl Sagan — there are those who basically worship him — who was the original global warming nitwit celebrity, claiming that Saddam’s oil well fire arsons wouldn’t be put out for at least two years (it took about six months, and that includes the sour wells, Red Adair was still alive at the time, and had been putting out Saddam’s arsons in Kuwait for years before the Iraqi invasion) and would cause drought and famine in India, Africa, downtown Atlantic City (I made that one up), the same kinda of groundless Al Gorism that probably ‘inspired’ the grifter, Al Gore.
Your comments are often more interesting and insightful than the original articles posted Thanks for sharing.
Back when I was an undergrad minion at the University of Minnesota Supercomputer Center, they had a US government contract to run the US Army High Performance Computing Research Center (AHPCRC). I was one of the sysadmins for the University’s Cray-2 and Connection Machine.
Shortly after Carl Sagan began pushing his nuclear winter doomsday scenario in the media, we were given a rush job from the Army to run a mesoscale atmospheric circulation model. I had a hunch it might have been quickly declassified. I later heard that NASA/Ames and some other HPC sites were also given similar codes to run.
We ran the model and reported back to the Army that there was no significant occlusion of the atmosphere. I think the other HPC sites came to the same conclusion.
Carl Sagan was talking out of his ass.

DeSantis has it figured out - now he's moved on to the Sanibel bridge...
Sami bel causeway is now open, too. Saw it yesterday. Amazing
DeSantis doesn’t mess around...
