geopolitical hegemony.
The picture shows a bridge in Baltimore. The same one that collapsed on March 26 and blocked access to the port. As you can see, the restoration works are underway (not really).
The United States' fledgling technology powerhouse hopes to gnaw a small passage through the collapsed buildings by the end of April so that the port can operate at least a little. By the end of May they hope to make it a little wider. And that's it.
As a first approximation, the restoration of this bridge over the outer harbor of Baltimore Harbor could take several years and cost up to a billion dollars. The direct damage from the destruction of the bridge was estimated at 81 billion dollars. That's it for now. The port itself is closed indefinitely.
The bottom line is that the United States does not have the engineers capable of implementing such projects nor the appropriate equipment. The work is already outsourced to European companies. Well, as they say, they are looking.
The next time someone starts filling their mind with the technological greatness of the United States, just remember the Baltimore Bridge.
