    I’m pretty sure it was that cargo ship, Dali

    That's true but if we'd built a border wall in the middle of that river instead of a bridge then the bridge wouldn't have collapsed... walls do work.

    I didn’t stay at a Fox News Propaganda Roach Motel last night, but I do have a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and I’m gonna go with the wild hypothesis that the big heavy boat hit a part of the bridge that was holding a decent amount of weight. That introduced a decent stress factor which weakened that part’s structural integrity, it started to give way, and the rest of the bridge followed suit.

    But we all know big boats can’t hit bridge beams or something because open borders cause Covid lockdowns.

    Idk, I have an engineering minor and I think immigrants are a much more likely cause than a giant fuckin boat crashing into the bridge

    I don't have an engineering degree at all, but I design my 3D printed parts, and I think that immigrants stole the boat and rammed the bridge because the chemtrails in the sky made them all go crazy

    I am not qualified to have a technical discussion on this matter.

    However: big boat hurts big bridge; makes sense to me.

    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.

    If 9/11 happened today half of Republicans on Twitter would be blaming Secretary Buttigieg before the second plane hit.

    Fun fact: I had a cousin in the second tower on 9/11. They told everyone in his office to remain calm and he was just like “nope” and got the fuck out

    That is a serious disconnect from reality.

    I mean, this was a failure on multiple levels, but Covid and immigration aren't anywhere near the list of things that went wrong.

    Absolutely right! We need to stop these cargo ships illegally emigrating to our country and taking our jobs!

    Damn straight!

    I applied for a data analyst role at a company last year, and after weeks of interviewing, they informed me that instead of hiring a red-blooded American patriot like me, they decided to go with a cargo ship. Can you believe that?

    Dat ship dun terk mer jerb.

    Ironically enough, we do actually have a law to stop something like this, the Jones act, which requires that ships transporting cargo between two parts of the US must be built in the US, fly our flag, and be owned and crewed by americans. All this actually does though is make shipping just a bit more expensive, because US shipbuilding is more expensive than the global average, so almost nobody builds cargo ships here, which means that ships that comply with the law are rare specialty constructs and thus even more expensive, so very few exist and trips that could be more efficiently done by ship from one US port to another are instead taken by things like trucks.

    Is this why our cruise ship in hawaii (sailing only between hawaiian islands) was american flagged and crewed by americans?

    I was surprised because i always heard stories about how cruise ships are often crewed by exploited internationals and flagged in questionable jurisdictions so that workers can be abused.

    TLDW, Fox Host: "You've been talking a lot about the potential for wrongdoing or potential for foul play given the wide open border. That is why you've been so adamant."

    The right wing mental inbreeds will believe the stupidest shit, and if proven wrong the imprint on their minds will still cause them associate something bad connected to the bridge and border policies.

    Who the hell stopped them from fixing the border and also imposed those COVID lockdowns?
