Re: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse live: Many casualties feared

The m/v Dali did not have the best record. There were serious problems that supposedly got fixed, but maritime law is not the easiest to enforce in a consistent manner. Maybe they did the right inspections, and maybe they didn't. For such a potentially catastrophic mode of transportation, an awful ...

Re: What’s going to happen to Trump Mon Mar 25 2024?

It’s not about denouncing Trump. It’s about not voting for Democrats. I think we are screwed as far as the Presidential election is concerned no matter which of these men gets himself elected. I don’t care for either man as a candidate. And a sizable chuck of the voters in this country wish that we...

Re: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse live: Many casualties feared

Conservatives don’t mind paying for regulation Brad. But there is a balance to be had and folks on the other side don’t seem to get that. They would drive a thumbtack with a sledgehammer. So there’s a ying and a yang to this. It pisses both sides off but it’s necessary to get to a place where busin...

Proof that I was right when I said the issue was the increase size of container ships that the bridge wasn't designed for. https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/27/us/key-bridge-historic-crash-invs/index.html When a container ship slammed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday, it led to the dis...

Re: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse live: Many casualties feared

That being said, accidents like this will always happen. The challenge is to learn from them and do better. Blaming one party or the other for an accident such as this does absolutely nothing. First, I'm not blaming a party for the accident. However, I DO blame the GOP for refusing to fund infrastr...

Re: What did we learn from COVID?

We disagree. We knew quite a bit about Covid and we knew it early on. All anyone need to do was go to the hospital and talk to the doctors and nurses. They knew who was dying. Who was going on ventilators. These folks were primarily over 60 and or had co morbidities. That reality existed then and w...

Re: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse live: Many casualties feared

The GOP was done in by the classic Orwellian premise, namely the idea that you can win elections by controlling the language instead of trying to control whatever problems exist in the real world. They're on the Nooz 24/7, but everything's a problem but them. What has happened to, "We have met...

Okay, I've looked at a number of things about this disaster, and I know quite a bit about the history of such disasters. Seen a number of pieces by bridge construction people.

These special election results don't worry me. Because democrats are far more motivated to get out. While I don't know the turnout but in most special elections it is pretty low.
