China builds infrastructure crappy from the get-go. the US builds good infrastructure but allows it to turn to crap because our “leaders” decide that “infrastructure” means plopping apartments into areas zoned for single-family houses because they’d rather people were packed into high density dependency than anything resembling independence. Example:
Kayaker’s photos show crack in closed I-40 bridge in 2016
A crack? Well that sounds a little worrying. A crack can be anything from cosmetic to potentially damaging. Let’s hope that it’s not too…
Nope.
That’s not a crack. That’s a COMPLETELY BROKEN STRUCTURAL ELEMENT.

Don’t let the ChiComs build your glass-bottomed bridges.
China: Man left dangling from bridge after glass breaks
The wind blew the glass panels out. One would *think* that such panels would be firmly secured, but I guess that’s western capitalist thinking.

At one point one of the thieves comes at the witness with a lit blowtorch. I’m pretty sure that in any civilized area this would be seen as adequate cause for the witness to pop a cap in his ass… but this is not only California but the Sacramento area. No right to defense of self or property should be assumed there. Still… if the witness had, say, a can of hair spray and hosed down the thief, just so happening to blow the spray past that lit flame, one wonders what might have resulted, both from a rapid oxidation and a legal standpoint.

More footage from that South African “cash in transit” attempted heist:
If you want to draw paralleled between this sort of thing and a hypothetical “defund the police/don’t charge the Antifa domestic terrorists” future… hey, knock yourself out.

Switch around a few details in this story, and cities would go up in flames and the Federal government would bend over backwards to enforce new policies. As it is? It’s essentially non-news.

In 2015, Allen Pan made a “real burning lightsaber” that worked by using butane to pressurize methanol, squirting it like a tiny supersoaker and setting the stream alight. The concept was… well, “insanely dangerous” is probably fair. Still, it worked:
But then…
The cheap knockoff took an idea that was insanely dangerous and said “meh, let’s make it as awful as possible” and scored a hundred grand .
I’m in the wrong damn business.
