I remember something about the aftermath of the San Fran earthquake... one highway was rebuilt differently. The contractor was to be paid more the sooner it was rebuilt.
It was done in record time.
Until I read your reply, I didn’t remember that, but it happens every day down here.. It’s remarkable, everyone sees it and comments about it, but don’t do much to change anything except vote the same idiots back, including Shella Jackson Lee.. go figger.. :)
