is coming up with mega projects over and over again, while in Germany the bridges we build centuries ago still stand, but theirs need replacement in a twenty year cicle. This is just another one.
The reason for bad bridges is basic and until now tunnels have been build more solid, but that might change considering the major amount of big concrete projects suggested.
The main reason why modern bridges are failing is that they use bad materials and even worse design. Way before Newton had an apple drop on his head, architects understood statics and that weights need to be distributed by what today is called biomorphing design and the Gothic Window was invented leading to stone and mortar made bridges still standing.
Then, The Germans came and even bridges hundreds of meters long made to carry thousends of daily passing tons are pillar and plate designes...Mind over Matter, aka The German way.
Germanisation made its way through all of this world and instead of continuing to develop ferries until they reach technical perfection and limits of efficiency by using other materials than steel, better engines than diesel, smart transmissions inbetween engine and rotor, aerodynamic hull designes and other laws of physics known to hydroplanes using under water wings and ground effect, even long stretches need difficult to build concrete structures avoiding reasoning and thought by just going bigger over smarter as The Germans do since Westwall and the Bismarck destroyer.
The biggest and most stupid I ever came across was to fight rising sea levels by a dam between Cornwall and the Normandie combined with one connecting basically the Shetland Islands and its Oil riggs with both Sctland and Norway with the simple and simpliest stupid comment that needed technological advances in bunker construction will come on the way during building time.
Obvously, I am the psych scizo suggesting to buy a boat over a Mercedes and move all furniture out of the basement instead, making space for Koys in the new natural pool while they get a 100k pay check from the Think Tank awaiting having a whisy with salmon ontop of the northern sea in the near future.
Fuck you and in need of a Bazooka and you Mind Tanks are the reason I might learn Russian.
