People are bitching about the inconvenience of that part of I-95 being closed. "How much are we supposed to tolerate?!"
*heavy sigh*
Look, asswads. You are going to tolerate as much inconvenience as it takes to get that bridge repaired. Why? Because, if that bridge collapses, PEOPLE WILL DIE. Someone could lose a husband, brother, mother, aunt, son. Permanent injuries could occur. At the LEAST, thousands- if not tens and possibly spanning into the hundreds- of dollars of damage will be done. AND if the bridge collapses, it's going to be closed for longer than a few days.
And so, you have to leave for work a little earlier. ADJUST.
The funny thing is is that these people would probably be the loudest to scream about the city not doing anything if it DID collapse.
