        Traffic is always a nightmare, and my coffee this morning was $7. I live in a single room with nine people. Put some gum on it and let’s go.

        there is something drastically wrong with a new $2B building developing cracked infrastructure. Just how does that happen?

        It happens when you spend other peoples money on other people. You don't care how much it costs and you don't care about the quality.

        it takes a TREMENDOUS amount of Torsion to crack a steel beam. the correct nomenclature is Chanel, because of the design, like an I or C, specifically to prevent torsion of the beam. something is terribly out of plumb, or a massive load has shifted direction, very bad news

        astounded by what i read about the millennium. 640 feet of building anchored 80' of sand? In Earth Quake Country? and the building is already leaning 14 inches, less than a decade after construction. Next quake its falling over onto the new transport hub. hundreds will be killed.
