Biden and Iran

 Tell that "never adopted" bullshit to the people residing in New York, Minneapolis, Chicago and all of the other "Blue DemocRatic" states. You are nothing but a lying bastard.


Never happened, asshole. The police are still funded in those and all other cities. Prove otherwise if you can, and not with some scumbag Facebook video or a Fox News rant--with a real news source.

 

Otherwise, shut your fucking evil little pie-hole. Jesus, and this scumbag calls other people liars.

I'm 63 years old.  For as long as I remember, we've been told that if we don't fix the infrastructure all of the bridges will fall down.  Somehow we all navigate around the collapsing bridges.

 

The last big collapse that I can recall was the Minneapolis I-35 Mississippi bridge 15 years ago.  It had nothing to do with aging, but instead the cause was a design flaw.

 

It's all hype to create a problem that doesn't exist.


Well, "for as long as you remember" obviously includes pure fantasy, because no one ever said "all of the bridges will fall down." What "they" have said is that bridges have a useful life, and if they remain in service beyond that, there is an increasing risk of structural collapse. And I don't think "unlikely" is good enough, not when millions of people cross bridges every day.

 

Only a idiot would think that bridges never fall down. And aside from that, Biden's infrastructure plan includes a LOT more than just fixing bridges. Stuff wears out. That's obvious even to a child, but somehow, not Boiler.

 

Same old RepubliQ conservitard crap. Biden wants it, we must oppose it, even if it would benefit our constituents. Truly "deplorable."

 Watch the video in my post. It happened and continues to happen. None of your lying bullshit can dispute that.

The police haven't been defunded anywhere. Period.

Pittsburgh 2 months ago

 

 

And nevermind your argument about bridges somehow being immortal and never needing repair or replacement.    Infrastrucutre goes well beyond that.     Do you remember the electrical grid disaster in Texas that shut down the city for 2 weeks while people incurred thousand dollar utility bills?   Have you seen the gridlock at the port of Los Angeles resulting in many of the supply chain issues we have now?   Have you talked to any of your rural friends who have internet speeds running at the same rate as America Online from the 1990's?   Or how about our 1920's rail system that connects the east coast cities ?

 

But lets be clear - Republicans dont hate infrastructure - they just hate Democrats.   Thats why they're running around decrying the bill while simulaneously taking credit for all the good things its doing.   I watched my governor, Eric Holcomb, do that very thing for 30 minutes in his anual State of State address.   

How many died in the Pittsburgh collapse?  We all know that its zero.

 

I could have this number wrong, but I'm close.  About 40 people have died in US bridge collapes in the past 15 years.  About 25% of those deaths where in Minneapolis, and that bridge problem wasn't age.  I suspect others within those 40 deaths weren't because the bridge was worn out.

 

Can't we  just stop talking about a problem that doesn't exist.

So...in Boiler World...stuff breaking down, collapsing, etc. is OK if no one dies...or at least, if only a few people die...and of course, if we do nothing, the infrastructure is going to fail at the exact same rate, even as it gets older and older...and there's no benefit to be gained by upgrading and improvements.

 

Even the majority of conservitards and RepubliQ assholes are on board with this. Granted, it's entirely self-serving on their part, but be that as it may, at least there's some consensus.

 

Opposing infrastructure improvements solely because Biden wants them is stupid assholery of the lowest order.

  Anyone with a brain can find this info on Google ---According to a Forbes report from August 2020, at least 13 cities have defunded or are in the process of defunding their police departments: New York City. Washington, D.C. Baltimore. Philadelphia. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Atlanta. Minneapolis.

So when the water heater in your house broke did you simply not replace it because nobody was killed when it stopped working?   Your post might be the most ridiculous thing you've ever written.

 

Things get old and need to be replaced.   And again - the faux outrage of making infrastrucutre spending an issue is bullshit.    Republicans simulatenously crying about Biden while trying to take credit for the infrastructure is proof.

Bridges haven't stopped working. There is no widespread problem.  People aren't dying.  Bridges aren't falling down in ANY substantial way.

 

You have the same old broken argument that has been proven wrong for decade after decade after decade after decade after decade after decade.
