…whether roads in America actually collapse.
PS: It’s Tim Pawlenty’s fault!

Ask a follow up question, will ya Mitch?
Will Guam capsize if we put any more military hardware on it?

Who knew HDPE pipe, like jet fuel, could melt steel? Do you wonder if our senior Senator, Vanilla Fluff, will become a 3/30 Truther?

“…his agency owns the property and the material — some of it high-density plastic — had been there as long as 10 or 11 years.”
Yes, nothing like a government project manager to acknowledge that their inability/inefficiency in managing construction supplies led to a costly disaster. But they’ve totally got single payer health care figured out.

Obviously Klobuchar has never heard of “sinkholes” and the like, either.
The article there is rich with indictments of the government. PVC ignites at about the same temperature as paper, so you’ve got a state transportation board storing highly flammable materials under a key roadway, completely failing to control their supply chain (stuff there ten years), completely neglecting the degradation that occurs due to thermal cycling and UV light, and completely ignoring the reality that homeless people do start fires under bridges using available materials like wood spools and racks used to store PVC pipe.
And what Seflores says. They can’t maintain a supply chain or store pipe safely, but trust ’em with your healthcare. Um, no.

One other thing. I really liked the bit towards the bottom where the state transportation commissioner claimed that the stash was “not combustible.” Yeah, that’s why it went up in flames and caused a bridge to collapse. In a just world, he’d be receiving the news that his unemployment benefits were denied because his firing was for cause about right now.
