A bridge too close?






"Having Mayor Pete in charge of this investigation gives many of us pause for concern. Not only was the Key Bridge a bridge too close to a potential disaster, but Mayor Pete is also like a bridge too far to solve anything. Where does that leave us, once again? Treading water, just waiting for the next wave of inflation to roll in."


Who would have thought it? Fransis Scot Key Bridge in Baltimore - destroyed. But come on Bird! It was an accident. Really? It just so happens, that port is one of the busiest in the country. Like - we really need for that port to be functional. But now it is junk and a gravesite. There are some who are saying this was no accident. There are others who are saying this really smelled like three-day old fish. I am one of those people.

What was this ship doing? First off, it was making a speed of 8 knots. That is pretty slow - unless you are a monster container ship going through a tight navigation. Plus - it had two pilots on board. For the number of ships which pass under this bridge, that should be Easy Peasy. But it was not. And what happened to any backup systems should a ship that size lose power? 

This is going to have ramifications going far and wide. This accident could not have happened at a worse time in a worse place. Slow Joe almost stumbled making his way to a hot mike. "Don't worry - the federal government will pay for everything!" Wait a second Mr. Spendy. How about the guilty parties paying for everything? Because of you Slow Joe, we are broke and deep in dept. Stop acting like you are Daddy Warbucks. 

Having Mayor Pete in charge of this investigation gives many of us pause for concern. Not only was the Key Bridge a bridge too close to a potential disaster, but Mayor Pete is also like a bridge too far to solve anything. Where does that leave us, once again? Treading water, just waiting for the next wave of inflation to roll in. But when it does, Biden will blame the bridge collapse for his Build Back Better collapse.
