Epic Mega Bridge To Connect America With Russia Gets Closer To Reality

Sepa Blackforesta writes: A plan for an epic bridge connecting Russia's easternmost border with Alaska's westernmost border could soon be a reality, as Russia seeks to partner with China. Sijutech reports: "If this mega bridge come to reality, it would be Planet Earth’s most epic mega-road trip ever. The plans have not been officially accepted since specific details of the highway still need to be discussed, including the large budget. Allegedly the plan will cost upwards in the trillions of dollars range."

    A ferry would be orders of magnitude cheaper and achieve the same.

    Agreed. It could also avoid the ice and bad weather by using a more southern route, like directly from Shanghai to Long Beach.

    I find reviews for most durable goods that include the suggestion of purchasing more to be suspect unless the reviewer illustrates why they would need more than one. Makes me wonder if the seller has signed up with a fake reviewer service to try to bump up the ratings.

    If their strikes really cost that much money, then it should be a trivially easy decision by management to pay them and avoid the strike. If management isn't doing that, then obviously the strikes aren't hurting all that much.
