    The Chinese need a little startup time to put the bugs into the bridge components before they ship them here.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        If building the original took 5 years in the 70’s, why would it take 7-10 now? Oh, that’s right, unions…

        If the union safety regulations save even a single life, the extra time is worth it.

          The voice in my head that told me what a union apologist would say in response to your post.

              Human story on those crew members who are still stuck on the ship for various reasons:

              https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/18/us/baltimore-bridge-dali-ship-crew/index.html

              You’d thought all those who were originally on board the ship would have been “rescued” and relocated to dry land by now, but no, many of them are still stuck on the ship.

                But it could be weeks or even months before they can leave, due to an array of complications – including US visas that expired while they’ve been trapped

                That has the ring of truth to it. The Biden administration is relentless with its enforcement of immigration laws. Those Indians could apply for asylum, maybe if the ship was literally sinking when they filled out the paperwork, but good luck even then. It’s almost impossible to get asylum in America.

                Welcome to Joe Biden’s America? It is, heart breakingly, the exact opposite for these brave souls, trapped by Biden’s fascist immigration enforcers.

                  Can you believe this was only a year ago? Seems like much longer.

                        But it’s a reminder that this did happen on Pete’s watch. Maybe he was paying too much attention to keeping airplanes safe.
