The bridge
I can’t believe this bridge fell. I drove over and walked under this bridge many times when I lived in the Twin Cities.
I’m reading Atlas Shrugged and there are a lot of references to metal and industry and how things are stronger and work better when capitalists are free to compete and make money, and that things work worse and rails break and bridges collapse when capitalists are not free to compete and work to improve. Would this not have happened if the bridge were privately owned? Would this not have happened if taxes were increased and the Minnesota Department of Transportation had more money to spend on repairs to the bridge? I don’t know, I’m still trying to figure it out.
