Pedestrian Bridge Collapse, FIU, S Florida

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

So what if our bridge collapsed after five days? The pyramids are still standing, right?

What I like most about your posts is how accurately and charitably they capture and re-frame my arguments.

Paragon of the good-faith debater, you.

We've got a sort of information selection bias, since you'll never see the article "Public Works Project Continues to Function Satisfactorily for the Umpteenth Day in a Row."

Successes are always in the background, and easy to ignore. Failures are splashy.

$20trillion in public debt says even when public works don’t collapse and kill people, they could’ve been done better.

No, I captured it pretty well.

We're looking at a complete failure of government to pick the right person for the job, and your solution is to make the people chosen for the job part of the government.

and then you added that there are other times that the tax payers were defrauded by these same ill chosen people where no one has died, yet.

HM: I’d basically murder all of you, but that would leave no one to govern me - and I love me some government.

Have I summed it up about right?

I just lack the poetic mind to put it so adroitly!

Pedro, Jorge, Juan, Pedro Jr., Raul, Fernando,

I bet two dollars to a donut that they didn't come in as an MBE bidder to project.

Puhlease, I worked for a company that had a mexican lady as ceo solely to capitalize on which ever affirmative action program gave them the most edge. WBE or MBE or both? She knew dick about the industry.
