I have heard horror stories about the quality of steel coming from China, we all know the quality of the gypsum board, makes one wonder if the bridge is safe.

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

It will serve them right if that thing collapses during the next "big one".

That's some stupid schidt right there. An extremist liberal, left-leaning city that balks at the mere thought of allowing an SUV within their city limits, yet they outsourced a BRIDGE to China due to union labor rates all the while turning a blind eye as to how much heavy fuel oil had to be burned in those ships to get the steel to the US.

Hypocrits - a PRIME example.

1,000,000 Man Hours of steel work X 2.6 (common "jobs" multiplier for outsourcing) = 2.6MM man hours.

Assuming the average worker got 2-weeks of idle/vacation time, then it would have provided about 250 jobs for 5-years.

Not a lot, but when you look at the cost difference (only a few percent) and the environmental impact (something they SUPPOSEDLY care about), then it makes ZERO sense.

That's really sad.

There are plenty of steel manufactures and erectors in this country that would have been proud to do it.

Most US steel companies are not operating at 100 percent right now.

Advance apologies to anyone that has family or friends in California.
This is another in a long line of reasons why California could fall into the Pacific and this country would be better off.

I think the key word in the story is union.

You beat me to. It's pretty damn sad, when UNION rates, are so high, that phucking bridges are built in another country and then shipped here. Cause it's cheaper sick

It wouldn't have mattered union or nonunion an American company can't compete with slave labor wages. What should be the saddest part is more money going to support a communist country.

What is sadly hilarious is that the socialist union State of fruits and nuts uses free market principles to go to a Communist country to get cheap product and labor because they can't afford the socialist union State of fruits and nuts costs that they created. However, if they just turned it up a notch and turned Mexifornia into a communist State they could use all of the illegal aliens as cheap labor to make the steel and build the bridge! Heck, I bet Michael Moore would even pay for it!

Could be true but there are non union shops in those areas.
