I wouldn't have thought 50 years was old for a bridge.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Depends on the bridge, of course. But According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, "most of the country’s bridges were designed for a lifespan of 50 years." So...

Certainly that group has an agenda, so grains of salt are necessary but that's interesting.

Certainly! And yet. The bridge that collapsed today was built in 1973.

Renowned scientist Joe Biden is gonna cure cancer by 50%. Amazing! Too bad this guy only recently surfaced on the national scene and hasn’t been in a position of influence for decades.

Not as far-fetched as you might believe:
Biden aims to reduce cancer deaths by 50% over next 25 years
The American Cancer Society estimates there will be 1,918,030 new cancer cases and 609,360 cancer deaths this year. Biden is essentially aiming to to save more than 300,000 lives annually, which the administration believes is possible because the age-adjusted death rate has already fallen by roughly 25% over the past two decades. The cancer death rate is currently 146 per 100,000 people, compared with nearly 200 in 2000.
Looking forward, better public health practices, reducing cancer risks such as smoking and informing people about the best cancer research could mean fewer deaths. Brawley said one of his studies found that 130,000 people die annually from cancer because they do not benefit from known science.
But the administration believes it can curb cancer through efforts such as increased screening and removing inequities in treatment. The coronavirus pandemic has consumed health care resources and caused people to miss more than 9.5 million cancer screenings.
Not here to defend Joe Biden, who sucks and will soon be in the dustheap of history where he belongs, but you gotta at least do the reading you post, homie.
