$5Billion for a New TapZee Bridge is Also $50Million a Year for Next 100 Years. SO why do only a few decide they need that kind of money to keep growing their frankenstein world? Imagine how many small business owners and farmers could thrive with that kind of money shared around? Heavy machinery tar adn road guys are tough killer types thats why. They're the one's willing to kill for it, lie for it, cheat for it, and be able to look at themselves in mirror after it because they're too often soul less and shallow...that's why everyone falls in line like sheep...fingers crossed that China Caterpillar will have hudson valley's best interests at heart...give me a break.
I read in an old NY Times article about turning old Tappan Zee into a pedestrian walkway and gardens, that the state currently spends about $50 million a year to maintain the bridge for vehicle traffic. According to my Google calculator $50million X 20 Years = 1 Billion. Therefore $50million times 100 = 5billion right? I am so bad at math. Large numbers scare th ehell out of me because of an exposure to too many (2 2 many) arrogant math teachers through school. I think maybe the state government reps had a similar experience perhaps...I don't know what privately vested interests are behind trying to sting the treasury into giving them 100 years of bridge repair money all at once...but when the numbers are this perverse it smells of bully interest. Caterpillar Inc for example. Another Bush era company (1986) in October, 2002, Caterpillar – the only diesel engine company to fail to meet the new emissions standards deadline – was forced to pay $128 million in per-engine non-conformance penalties. So how does a company fined so much still thrive? They bully their way either out of paying or bully their way into work. It's got to stop.

It would be a beautiful thing if the old bridge structure had to support only pedestrians and bicyclists and gardens and maybe shops...it could generate revenue in other ways...but because that does nothing for these KILLER companies that rely on certain amounts of infrastructure bs ever year...they have a way of seducing governemnet officials also bad at math...obviously.....
How amazing it would be to turn the bridge into something like the High Line on the West Side of
Manhattan if it came down to them getting away with this bank robbery...but the state should instead spend a few billion on ways of enticing the greedy shallow humans of the world, whose only aspiration in this life is to own a lamborghini or a rolex or what nonsense as far away as possible.
"Growth" needs to be redefined and redirected. There are too many people coming to New York for the stupidest, bullshit, cliche, crap reasons. Fuck them fuck their copy cat business models...fuck their "natural ice cream" ideas, or their "dog dooie calls" and storage businesses....so little of what most people do is of any real value anymore...just a lot of sewage shoveling clean up and paperwork no one even reads....so what's really needed? Whats really missing?
