I am not saying what is true or not about the initial allegation, just trying to define the players. The thing I have not heard is what was the extent of the FIU engineering (studies) department was involved. This was supposed to be a showcase for their "build a bridge in a hurry" program. It appears they were in just a little too much of a hurry. Part of the law suit will be from why US41, a major highway, was not closed when they were tensioning those cables. If this bridge falls on an empty road, traffic will be snarled for a few days but nobody dies. |

If this bridge falls on an empty road, traffic will be snarled for a few days but nobody dies. I guess the answer to why traffic was allowed would rest with whether there was any reason to believe that tensioning up the cables was a risky operation or not. And what the accepted practice has been with all the other similar bridges. All kinds of construction is done with traffic passing underneath all the time. Usually these incidents turn out something very fundamental was done wrong, eg the design plan wasn't followed, was misinterpreted, or the crew changed some procedure so that it could be done, easier, faster, but they didn't realize the consequences. |

Trump is what Stalin called a useful idiot. So, I expect it to be Trump amateur hour, worst case is Trump again does something impulsively and sells out South Korea or that it ends in Trump insulted and mad because KJU used him, so Trump orders an attack that starts a new Korean war. The chance of Trump achieving denuclearization is virtually zero. I'd put the chance of him achieving a real, verifiable halt in NK nuke and ICBM development at 5%. Think he'll surprise me? |

Actually the never Trumpers are the useful idiots if the intent is to destabilize the US government and the US economy. Nothing does both more than taking down a president. You only have to look at Nixon to see that. We had a 10 year economic malaise and a divide in the country that is still with us. A lot of economists say the middle class never recovered from that malaise either. That was also the start of the great economic divide between the haves and the have nots, exacerbated by the attempts to take Clinton down and the deregulation of Wall Street that happened quietly while everyone was looking for jizz on a dress. Some of my lefty friends say Clinton never would have signed the CFMA and Gramm€“Leach€“Bliley if he was not under so much fire from the right. I am not sure that is correct tho since Summers, Rubin and Greenspan were his guys. |

As for Trump, he is the elected president, weasel or not. I think the russian thing is overblown and I don't put much on the fact that he is not jumping on the meaningless "sanctions" bandwagon. That is just something to make people here feel good. It doesn't make Russian oligarchs feel bad. It doesn't make them feel anything. People are still going to buy their oil and bankers will be more than happy to handle their money. What are you going to do, nuke them Yes, but I can't buy an IZH Baikal 46M. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/IZH_4..._Air_Pistol/78 I do have a 60 rifle. It's a real implement of mass destruction, with a massive .177 pellet traveling at almost 400 fps. Even robins sneer at it but it's the cat's nuts for 10 meter target shooting. Unfortunately they are a subsidiary of the wrong company. |
