16. Some coverage of the rest of the country would be nice.

Out here in California (aka the state the Dem establishment only notices when they want money) we have a bridge scandal of our own: the new span of the SF-Oakland bay bridge was built out of garbage-filled substandard mafia concrete (really) Chinese steel, brittle bolts that are already rusting and somehow the design is vulnerable to moisture, which is a slight problem since they thing is over a bay and eternally blanketed in fog.

That's the new, safer replacement we got for a bridge that failed in the last major earthquake. Which, it should be noted, was an order of magnitude less powerful than the 1906 quake.

I know there's no easy political angle on a story that has more to do with incompetence (and probably graft if somebody pokes around in the paperwork long enough,) but if dem politicians and their media allies are going to push for needed infrastructure upgrades shouldn't they follow up and make sure those projects are executed in a way that's competent and honest or at least not a disaster waiting to happen?

Oh, and also global warming is destroying our ag economy which is a huge problem here and it's a huge problem everywhere else if you like to eat food.
