"SNIP.......

ProPublica: “A private border wall built along the Rio Grande in South Texas could collapse during extreme flooding, according to a federally commissioned inspection report that the government sought to keep secret for more than a year.”

1. The country is shocked!

It's almost as if it was some kind of slap-dash Potemkin Village project designed to fool the gullible and instill a false sense of security in a bid to prop up the failing fortunes of the former guy.

According to the report, the fencing doesn’t meet basic international building code and industry standards and has a foundation far shallower than border barriers built by the federal government.

2. And now, if they build a private wall along the border, they must factor

in maintenance and long term responsibility. I see businesses running from that.

3. Didn't we read about that like 2 years ago?

Or is this different private wall portion was built all shitty?

On that one the contractor was some major Trump contributor (because of course he was). I wanna say the name was Fisher (maybe) and he was from some northern state like WI or MN?

Wonder what the grift level was on it, either way.
