American Infrastructure Collapsing; America Collapsing! By Charles Taylor

Another day, another US building falls down; no doubt the old London Bridge song needs to be rewritten for us across the lake. Now there are many explanations for each of these building collapses, but what we need is something general and grand, poetic. How about the collapse being an infrastructural representation of the present cultural collapse that America is experiencing?  Buildings are replicating culture. And, it may well be that the actual physical collapse does get tied back to America’s diversity revolution in some shape or form, depending on how these structures were tacked up, and banged together in the first place.

“A five-story building collapsed in Washington DC on Thursday, leaving several people injured, including a man who remained trapped under mounds of rubble for more than an hour, authorities said.

The structure, which was under construction, came down at around 3:30 p.m. as a severe thunderstorm rolled through the area.

Four construction workers were immediately pulled from the wreckage, and were all brought to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, fire officials said.

Rescue crews and firefighters continued to work, using saws and manual labor to make their way through the large pile of plywood boards and other materials.

After about 1 hour and 30 minutes, rescuers were able to free a fifth worker who had been cornered under three floors of debris, officials said.”
