Short version of every post / reply by JB:
Orange man bad, you're a racist. I'm right, you're stupid.
I notice all the dodging too, simply no comments on actionable, debatable or controversial stuff. Just attacks it seems. No comment about the Florida concrete mix with salt water thing I posted before.
He posts this business insider article- great I think. For me, none of the links out to the Civil Engineering site worked! So no supporting evidence, then I gave up. So just now, I looked again. Site does not resolve. Maybe I am blocked since I don't reside in the US. Let me see.
So, going to archive and the site is active, evidently I am being blocked for some reason.

Well since Democrats believe in the Green new farce, and want to ban Airplanes- why fix the airports anyway? The world is going to end in 12 years according to the newest climate experts in congress. lol
So looking at the pdf linked at archive on bridges, 4 in 10 are old. Like no shit. What are we supposed to rebuild them all? Better use that providing free stuff to illegals. At least jobs that pay well. This article is an opinion piece to lobby for the Civil Engineers (Such poor condition... it's not fact it's opinion, no supporting actual facts to read, whats wrong and why), so it's slanted to create work. Well, I guess that's ok since most are non Govt jobs.
"The U.S. has 614,387 bridges, almost four in 10 of which are 50 years or older. 56,007

9.1%

of the
nationโs bridges were structurally deficient in 2016, a
nd on average there were 188 million trips across a
structurally deficient bridge each day.
While the number of bridges that are in such poor condition as to
be considered structurally deficient is decreasing, the average age of Americaโs bridges keeps goi
ng up
and many of the nationโs bridges are approaching the end
of their design life. The most recent estimate
puts the nationโs backlog of bridge rehabi
litation needs at $123 billion."

and, just as I suspected bridges in areas where bad weather in winter. I see the Swamp in DC is well maintained though. Wouldn't want any congress people crashing into the Potomac or anything.
So this thing got erased here, after spending a bunch of time on it.

This doesn't look like any crisis. Until a few fall down. The report does not mention what engineering data or criteria that was used to categorize. Not one mention of the word corrosion! Most bridges according to this "report" that does not clearly define how they determine "Deficient", but the
vast majority of "deficient" are NOT Federal, but State and Local.
So... who pays? Some states have less revenue, so they need federal subsidies. page 161.
