You have anecdotal claims. They don't rise to the level of proof that the studies I mentioned do.

What studies? You posted a Google search and have made about a dozen claims with no backing in his thread alone

I would not have expected this to be possible in any western democracy.

It isn't... And it's time to admit the USA does not have democracy

Democracy in the USA is like those sugary cereals pretend to be "part of a healthy breakfast"

Hmm I'm sure a 12 month change of scenery would be great... Not sure how that will change your prospects in the mid term

It's the right turning light... In the shape of an arrow pointing left

...and go where exactly?

Things are not easy here but unless you are buying into the Conservative narrative that even the bad weather is Trudeau's fault, "getting out" is not really a better option...

Nope, I did argue that it was not as easy as someone was claiming (dropping "heavy blocks")

Only one person replied with a link, but their very link said no protection would stop this specific accident

PS: you should also read your links. They are not super detailed in that wiki article but nothing there detour, much less stop, the ship that knocked down the Baltimore bridge

Oh yes... Right here on Lemmy some person said they should just drop some heavy concrete blocks near the bridge bases to stop the ship ...

Ehmm... Not from collisions like this one

From your link:

Shahbodaghlou said Bay Area bridges are engineered to withstand massive earthquakes and even typhoons. But he admits you cannot design for every possibility, like a direct hit from a massive container ship.

The San Francisco bridge is "protected" by the fact the water is too shallow for such large ships... So I guess the answer for Baltimore would be to ban ships this large

No clue, but that is not the point was replying to
