    The francis scott key bridge will take four years minimum to rebuild :)

    Unless Teslon Musk can build a super bridge that slingshots cars across the bay and they float down with a subscription based parachute that you can get epic skins on like a ape who is not having a good time and alao hes smoking a banano (canon)

      O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
      O’er the land of the cost overrun 'n the brave

      -–

      Seriously… Take the time estimate and double it. Take the cost estimate an quadruple it.

      We build a giant slingshot to shoot the cars

      But we have something to catch them if they don’t make it.

      And well have to be able to catch them going either way so we’ll need two of them, separated by direction of travel.

      And we’ll make the catchers out of something that the cars can glide along.

      Actually we’ll make it so the cars can push off the catching device so they don’t end up stopping before the end.

      And then every car will need a way to propel themselves so we’ll install a power unit in each one.

      Then we’ll add wheels to take advantage of rolling momentum instead of jsut sliding.

      I’ve done it again.
