And to think... many of our municipal projects - like bridge spans - are pruchased pre-fabbed from China.
Maybe we can get them to make offices for the legislature?
I couldn't find any articles on the collapse of the orginal Washington convention center, but knew a steel worker who worked on it.
Similar quality. Said the steel beams were cast from slag. He saw chunks of rebar (a very mild steel) that was melted to make the steel for the beams and apparently not fully melted into the steel mix so it was recognizable. I tried to find the origin of that steel. Might have been Korean though.

These people make Beavis and Butthead look intelligent.
Jesus, that's just depressing. And yeah, I'm certain that they cherry-pick the questions that make it into the final video, but even still . . . daaaaamn.
I do sort of understand why the young 'uns might not know the "how many dimes make a dollar" question. It's very possible that none of them ever use actual coins.
Huge fire started Fri at Lake Elmo. 217 fire fighters, aerial water drops, smoke jumpers fighting it, 4 miles from us. (Video taken 2 miles from fire in Dayton) Vid taken with no wind. Winds just shifted W 10 mph towards our town of Dayton.
Please say a prayer for us! We're ready to bug out if need be.
Good news is, our house has a metal roof, 4 feet of Cor-Ten side up the side, no trees around us, just mowed grass.
