    You really only need these little circles in front of the piers:

    I say "only"... they're huge and would need to be lots and lots of mass and would be expensive. 

     

    But in the case of the reconstructed bridge, I bet they'll be there, along with beefy rock "islands" that the main bridge columns are built on.

    The Bridge had those little circles in front of the piers.

    Republican Rep. Mike Gallagher will resign early, leaving House majority hanging by a thread

    WWW.NBCNEWS.COM
    House Republicans lost another member in Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., on Friday. Gallagher's departure on April 19 will leave Republicans with just one vote to spare on legislation.

     

     

    I guess Ken Buck wasn’t lying when he said others will follow 

    Apparently asbestos wasn't already fully banned before today.

    Thanks Biden!

    In 2016, Congress passed amendments to strengthen the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act, opening the door to renewing an EPA ban on the fibrous silicate mineral. But, under the Trump administration, the EPA failed to do so.

    Trump has directly supported the use of asbestos, writing in his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback that it is "100% safe, once applied." He blamed the mob for efforts to discontinue its use: "I believe that the movement against asbestos was led by the mob, because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal."

    But, companies will have up to 12 years to phase out chrysotile asbestos.

    In their own twisted way, conspiracies provide a "comforting" sense of "order" in a world of such seeming "randomness" or "disorder".  The arbitrariness of existence can be terrifying to many and therefore, the belief that some secret cabal is pulling the strings behind the scenes -- no matter how nefarious their purposes may be -- at least provides a sense of certainty, despite how illogical or irrational it may be.

    You forgot the laziness and pride angle.

    He doesn't need to be "as popular" as he was in 2016.

     

    He just needs to be "popular enough" to reverse Biden's pretty damned narrow 2020 margins in the swing states.


    The fact of the matter is that this election is going to be between two historically "unpopular" candidates with an electorate that's largely exhausted by the entire political process.

    By design. 
     

    it’s not a coincidence every time Trump runs words like “historically unpopular candidates” get thrown around. It’s a voter suppression tactic design to specifically exhaust the electorate. It worked the first, it failed the second time and will likely fail again.
