I'm a single issue voter and that issue is the Alaska-New Mexico Bridge

cross-posted from: https://sopuli.xyz/post/31500840

Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid?

And here I thought the Alaska-Siberia Bridge would be the first to be rebuilt.

A bridge from New Mexico to Alaska!? They'll do anything to ignore the genocide!

Back when I lived in alaska they had a proposal to build a bridge across the water from the most densely populated part of the state to open unused land. It was shot down as the “bridge to nowhere” in a smear campaign.

I completely understand not wanting to spend hundreds of millions of federal dollars on a small town... But now that the GOP is liquidating our taxes to enrich the billionaires, I feel like any expenditure that benefits the paupers in any way is a sound investment... Also, that ferry has fucked me a few times. A bridge would be so cool.
