The lead contractor has just admitted watering-down to substandard levels nearly $2B of concrete used in the Dig.

They must have learned this from the commies. I'll never forget my visit to Poland, around 1990, where I saw countless concrete apartment buildings where entire wall slabs had fallen from the buildings.

You can see this at Univ. of Mass. in Amherst. Dozens of concrete buildings from the 70s and 80s -- all with kickbacks to Billy Bulger -- falling apart. The main library had to be closed for several years because hunks of stone were falling out and braining people. Bulger retired with a reported $215,000/year pension.
