Giant earthquake bridge makes nuclear plants look cheap

I liked this article. When the Loma Prieta earthquake hit California, the bridges took a big hit. This completely choked the car-dependent economy! So, they needed a new bridge! Apparently, a cheaper bridge wasn't good enough, they wanted a huge, beautiful, horribly expensive bridge, that would match the Golden Gate.

Of course, nobody in California ever pays for anything, so it was all bought by more debt, as well as some extra debt to meet the payments on the debt.

Anyway, I am happy they are obsessed with their future M8 earthquake. It gives lots of jobs to my earthquake buddies. Over here, now that Harper has outlawed earthquakes, we don't even think about them...
