Germany's autobahn bridges falling apart – DW – 06/22/2024
www.dw.com
As many as 5,000 bridges along Germany's autobahns are so decrepit that they need to be renovated or rebuilt as quickly as possible. But the state, restrained by a national debt brake, is struggling to find the money.

    It’s true what you said, being newer than most other developed nations.

    However at the back of my mind, whenever it says “made in china”, i don’t expect much quality or built to last.

      I get that. There was a time when “made in Japan” meant low quality also. Times are a changin’.

      Japan buying up all of USA debt and land was a scary Boogeyman.

      I think I remember Saudi Arabia doing it too.

      Then China.

      I wonder if the American empire will last long enough for another country to do it.
