[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago (2 children) I am not qualified to have a technical discussion on this matter. However: big boat hurts big bridge; makes sense to me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BreakDecks@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago Republicans say such stupid things you don't need any real qualifications to prove them wrong. Usually, you don't even need to address whether the claim is true or false, you can just use basic logic to conclude that the claim is fallacious. There is no logical connection between this bridge collapse and border policy or COVID response. The burden of logically linking these things lies with those making the claim. We have no burden to prove that no connection exists, we can simply point out that the claim has no logical explanation for connecting these things. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CatOnTheChainWax@lemmy.today 7 points 2 years ago BIG BOATS CANT BEND STEEL BEAMS!!! permalink fedilink source parent
