Business as usual.

No, they're just continuously improving on it.

So, survival of the fittest?

They are 3rd on the list of most frequently overturned decisions, not first. Please do a little fact checking before you post.

I'm curious, who do you consider to be way better these days? I'm certainly willing to try somebody else.

They had the name first.

I already tired of the winning.

The National Security Advisor does not lead the NSA.

ABC is a private company. Does that mean that opposing party response to presidential speeches is no longer required?

Except that the White House just said that those are official statements.

Why do they loose them down the sinkholes? Is this an effort to fill them?

There's no reason a recently completed bridge can't be Structurally Deficient. It shouldn't be, but poor construction could lead to it being classified as such.

Structurally Deficient in the context of the National Bridge Inventory (NBI), which this report is based on, is well-defined federally, not by states. It means that the bridge is rated 4 or less for its Deck, Superstructure, or Substructure (or if a culvert, Culvert rating is 4 or less) or if its Structural Evaluation or Waterway Adequacy is 2 or less. The structural evaluation is generally just the lower of the Deck, Superstructure and Substructure ratings (or culvert rating), with some guidance involving average daily traffic and Inventory Rating.

TLDR: Feds define criteria for SD, not states.

Actually, I'm fairly familiar with the data here. Structurally Deficient in essence means a bridge that is in poor condition in either it's deck, superstructure or substructure. Bridges that do not meet current standards (e.g., not being wide enough for the number of lanes they carry) are called Functionally Obsolete. The National Bridge Inventory (NBI) system allows states only 3 categories: 1) Structurally Deficient, 2) Functionally Obsolete or 0) Neither. Bridges that are both Functionally Obsolete and Structurally Deficient are coded as 1) Structurally Deficient.

I'm not sure why the group decided to confound SD and FO bridges when there really wasn't any reason too, unless they were ignorant of or confused by FHWA's system or they were trying to make the problem seem worse than it actually is. Advocate groups will advocate, after all.

But we're not talking about taxes here, we're talking about tuition. Your argument may make somewhat more sense at a public school, but doesn't really work when looking at private schools.
